Description

Right now the internal path seems to be hardcoded to /__better_errors. See https://github.com/charliesome/better_errors/blob/master/lib/better_errors/middleware.rb#L74

It should be possible to configure/ prefix this path. This is needed if the rails project is not "mounted" at the root level, ex at /my_rails_app1/.... The correct path would then be /my_rails_app1/__better_errors

Research direction
The issue request is to make the internal path configurable. Currently it's hardcoded to '/ better errors' in lib/better errors/middleware.rb line 74. The solution involves adding a configuration option (e.g., a class or instance variable) that allows users to set a custom path prefix. The configuration should be accessible from the middleware initialization. Refer to how other parts of the gem handle configuration for consistency.
