feat(@angular/ssr): add defineNodeNextHandler utility

Introduced the `defineNodeNextHandler` utility to expose middleware functions from the `server.ts` entry point for use with Vite.
This provides flexibility in integrating different server frameworks, including Express, Hono, and Fastify, with Angular SSR.

Examples:

**Express**
```ts
export default defineNodeNextHandler(app);
```

**Hono**
```ts
export default defineNodeNextHandler(async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    const webRes = await app.fetch(createWebRequestFromNodeRequest(req));
    if (webRes) {
      await writeResponseToNodeResponse(webRes, res);
    } else {
      next();
    }
  } catch (error) {
    next(error);
  }
});
```

**Fastify**
```ts
export default defineNodeNextHandler(async (req, res) => {
  await app.ready();
  app.server.emit('request', req, res);
});
```
