Display a generic error page instead of error messages revealing information about the server's configuration

Discussed in #144

When you make a mistake the problem is shown on the webpage, referring to files, tables and structure, ...

If what if you wanted to hide these messages (for security or ..), but instead showing a generic error page (without knowing all possible errors in advance)

So is there a way of hiding these message on the webpage, (or cf like dev vs prod)

Any ideas?

There should be a configuration parameter to tell SQLPage you are running in production and don't want the debug messages.

If someone wants to help with that, here are some useful pointers:

• configuration handling: https://github.com/lovasoa/SQLpage/blob/main/src/app_config.rs
• the error handling function, which currently just calls the error component: https://github.com/lovasoa/SQLpage/blob/main/src/render.rs#L61-L69

Ideally, I think that in production mode, any error should stop the execution completely and raise a general error, to prevent the execution of further sql commands that the author may not have expected to run without some precondition being met.
