Improve ui design for deleted and non existent pages

Description

Context

Currently, these two types of pages are different but quite similar, as shown below. The main difference between them is the table with past revisions at the bottom of the deleted page.

Current - Page Not Found

Current - Deleted Page

Proposal

Main Points of This Proposal:

  • The text is aligned to the left to improve readability and maintain consistency with standard document formatting.
  • The text content has been broken down into smaller parts and summarized. For example, “The requested page could not be found” is shortened to “Page Not Found.” Ancillary text is kept to reinforce the main title, along with the “edit this page” action.
  • A new subtitle has been added to provide context for related pages.
  • The outer box (using the box style from CKEditor) is applied to make it more obvious that this content is not part of the document itself.

Page Not Found

Changes:

  • Page title area removed
  • New fixed title "Page Not Found"
  • Typography changes
  • Added a create page more (if the user has the proper rights)

Deleted Page

Changes:

  • Page title area removed
  • New fixed title "Page moved to recycle bin"
  • Typography changes

With editing rights:

Without any edit rights (guest user for example):

These are primarily adjustments to existing typographic styles already present in XWiki.
