Suppress root URL metadata for this loader-owned canonical URL.

src/routes/__root.tsx still emits og:url and twitter:url when ownsCanonicalLink is true. On an old-version example page, the root emits the old-version URL and this head emits the /latest URL. This produces conflicting social URL metadata.

Extend the root suppression logic to cover loader-owned URL metadata, or use one metadata owner for these tags.

around lines 289 - 292, Update the root head logic in __root.tsx to suppress its
og:url and twitter:url metadata whenever ownsCanonicalLink is true, so the
loader-owned canonicalHref remains the sole URL metadata source. Preserve the
existing canonical link behavior and the page-level tags in the example route.
