fix(astro): suppress spurious astro:server-app.js warning with @tailwindcss/vite

[rururux]

closes: #15986
(The error mentioned in the issue title has been confirmed fixed in Astro@6.1.3, but since this warning log was also reported in the same issue, I'm including this fix here as well.)

Changes

When using the @tailwindcss/vite plugin, a Failed to load url astro:server-app.js (resolved id: astro:server-app.js). Does the file exist? warning could appear under certain conditions.

Steps to reproduce

(see also: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-zxlwk9jg?file=src%2Fpages%2Ftest.astro,src%2Fstyles%2Fglobal.css,src%2Fpages%2Findex.astro)

1. Start the dev server and open a page that loads a CSS file containing Tailwind styles
2. Edit a file on a different page
3. The warning appears in the console

The root cause is that the virtual module ID astro:server-app does not start with virtual:, causing Vite to mistake it for a regular JS file. The fix prefixes the ID with virtual: to ensure Vite handles it correctly.

Testing

Added an e2e test that monitors console output to verify the warning no longer appears.
