Editable redirects no longer work

@Siilwyn and I encountered editable redirects no longer work. The cause is unknown.

This could have been caused by:

• the upgrade to the new Astro + Cloudflare adapter
• the introduction of using Functions within Cloudflare Pages as the Cloudflare docs on Redirects states you need to put that in your own worker logic:

Redirects defined in the _redirects file are not applied to requests served by Functions, even if the Function route matches the URL pattern. If your Pages application uses Functions, you must migrate any behaviors from the _redirects file to the code in the appropriate /functions route, or exclude the route from Functions.

Cloudflare _redirects are based on Netlify _redirects. So we could stick with this format for rewrites and use the netlify-redirect-parser in a catch all route or middleware.

Maybe better to switch to our own (meaning not Cloudlare/Netlify), more explainable syntax and use a better documented package like https://github.com/lukeed/regexparam or https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiny-request-router
