Configurable html message or external link for resource not configured error. Option for notification

When you used the OpenAthens redirector on a resource that's not configured and active an error page is displayed to the patron. this message / page can't currently be modified.

It would be nice that we could add details and links to external systems here (or have the error redirect to an external site).

The option to have that error email admins would also be helpful, letting is know what resource isn't configured that our patron thinks should be, or obtained a link from some associated system.

Is this currently impacting your ability to use OpenAthens effectively? Yes
