fix parallel route top-level catch-all normalization logic to support nested explicit (non-catchall) slot routes (#60776)
Fix NEXT-2165
### What?
Addresses the limitation of #60240, where a dummy `default` file is
required in parallel route child slot to prevent errors in dev server
rendering (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
'clientModules')`) as well as errors in build and deploy (`Error:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat
‘/vercel/path0/.next/server/app/parallel-route/[section]/@part/[partSlug]/page_client-reference-manifest.js’`)
Without the `default.tsx`, builds and deployments will fail with:

local dev server will also crash with:

> TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
'clientModules')
### Why?
Since `default.tsx` is not a compulsory when you have slot that are
specific and ends with a dynamic route segment, this PR extends support
so that it is possible mixing catch-all routes with specific
non-catchall routes without requiring an additional `default.tsx` .
This PR will allow the following test cases to pass:
```
it('should not add the catch-all route to segments that have a more specific [dynamicRoute]', () => {
const appPaths = {
'/': ['/page'],
'/[[...catchAll]]': ['/[[...catchAll]]/page'],
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/default': [
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/default',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot0/default',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot2/default',
],
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]': [
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot0/page',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot1/page',
],
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]': [
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot0/[baz]/page',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot1/[baz]/page',
],
'/[locale]/nested/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]/[qux]': [
'/[locale]/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot1/[baz]/[qux]/page',
],
}
const initialAppPaths = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(appPaths))
normalizeCatchAllRoutes(appPaths)
expect(appPaths).toMatchObject(initialAppPaths)
})
...
```
```it('should not add the catch-all route to segments that have a more specific [dynamicRoute]', () => {
const appPaths = {
'/': ['/page'],
'/[[...catchAll]]': ['/[[...catchAll]]/page'],
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/default': [
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/default',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot0/default',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot2/default',
],
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]': [
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot0/page',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot1/page',
],
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]': [
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot0/[baz]/page',
'/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot1/[baz]/page',
],
'/[locale]/nested/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]/[qux]': [
'/[locale]/nested/[foo]/[bar]/@slot1/[baz]/[qux]/page',
],
}
...
```
and allow parallel routes defined in this [code
repro](https://github.com/williamli/nextjs-NEXT-2165) to build.
### How?
`packages/next/src/build/normalize-catchall-routes.ts` is extended to
check `appPath` to see if it is:
1. the route is not a catchall
2. `isMoreSpecific` than the closest `catchAllRoute`.
where `isMoreSpecific` is defined as:
```
function isMoreSpecific(pathname: string, catchAllRoute: string): boolean {
const pathnameDepth = pathname.split('/').length
const catchAllRouteDepth = catchAllRoute.split('/').length - 1
return pathnameDepth > catchAllRouteDepth
}
```
