feat($route): regexp support for $route params

[petrovalex]

Commit related to the issue #918

• regex for the route is constructed once and then reused
• allows provide regex expressions for params in the constraints object:
  $routeProvider.when('/user/:id/:age', {template:'user.html'}, {id:"[0-9]", age:"[0-9]"})
• list of values is supported using regular expression:
  $routeProvider.when('/some/:param', {template:'foo.html'}, {param:"one|two|tree"});
• supports predefined types for paramsters (int, float, bool, string):
  $routeProvider.when('/some/:param', {template:'foo.html'}, {param:"float"});
  $routeParams.param will be typeof number
• predefined types can be extended, bu extending $routeProvider.shortcut object

Thanks for the PR, and very sorry about the delay in getting to it. Unfortunately this feature is not yet done. There are few use cases outlined in comments which do not work, and the PR is missing documentation. Could you update it and rebase to master and we will have another look. We promise not to take 3 months again. Again sorry about the delay.

I understand this may not be a priority for you, so I am going to close this request so that it does not show up in our list. Once you update the changes requested please reopen the request.

I am a bit lost, it has been pushed in the master or in the v1?

@laurent-le-graverend it didn't land in any branch, see this comment:

👍 to this feature. Extremely helpful to define the routes using regexes, even more so to be able to access the compiled regexes later.

👍

I would like to allow routes with a variable amount of subcategories

/category1/category2/category/3 where category 2 and 3 are optional but parsed & their resources resolved if they exist.
