Using Edge->Nunjucks without a `.njk` template file in your project throws an error

[zachleat]

Using an empty project with this as a test.liquid file:

Testing
{% edge "njk,md" %}
Testing
{% endedge %}

throws this error when there are no .njk files in the project

Unlikely folks will run into this in production but definitely a starter/beginner/demo project bug

Per the Eleventy Community Survey results and our refocus and prioritization towards our roots as a static site generator, we’re going to be deprecating Edge in 3.0 and closing issues related to the Edge plugin. I’m very sorry to have to do this—but unfortunately this was a necessary decision to allow the project to continue forward.
