fix(core): TRAC-668 bump Next.js, React, and opennextjs/cloudflare for security patches

Addresses multiple CVEs disclosed May 2026:

- next: ~16.1.6 → ~16.2.6 (middleware bypass, SSRF, XSS, cache poisoning)
- react/react-dom: 19.1.5 → 19.1.7 (GHSA-rv78-f8rc-xrxh DoS via OOM/CPU on server function endpoints)
- @opennextjs/cloudflare: 1.17.3 → 1.19.8 in native-hosting workflow

eslint-config-next intentionally left at 15.5.10 — @16.x requires ESLint 9+/flat config migration.
