Requests to /examples/[...] not being redirected correctly

It seems that requests to /examples/[...] are not being redirected properly.

https://svelte.dev/examples/hello-world

This might be related to #1056.

This issue is caused by routes/examples/[...path]/+page.server.ts not working properly, similar to #1056. I have investigated this further. The root cause is that the entire application is set to be prerenderable in routes/+layout.server.ts, so routes/examples/[...path]/+page.server.ts becomes prerenderable. There is a link to /examples in content/blog/2022-01-13-accelerating-sveltes-development.md, and only a static redirect from /examples to /playground is generated.

As for the fix, there are two approaches: setting the redirect in hooks, similar to #1089, or adding export const prerender = false; to routes/examples/[...path]/+page.server.ts. The former provides consistency across the entire application. However, since svelte.dev is also intended to be referenced as an example project, it is acceptable to have both methods for redirects: using hooks and using +page.server.ts. Therefore, I will create a PR using the latter approach.
