pattern aliases

[HiveTraum]

This feature introduces ability to register aliases for some often used regular expressions.

For example path as this:
/{category:[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-4[a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[8|9|aA|bB][a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}}/{product:[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-4[a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[8|9|aA|bB][a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}}
can be transformed into this
/{category:uuid}/{product:uuid}

You need just use register it

router := NewRouter()
router.RegisterPattern("uuid", "[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-4[a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[8|9|aA|bB][a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}")
router.Path("/{category:uuid}")
router.Path("/{product:uuid}")
router.Path("/{order:uuid}")
router.Path("/{user:uuid}")

1. New method RegisterPattern on Route struct
2. New method RegisterPattern on Router struct

I like the idea - although you should check beforehand to save wasted effort 😉

Can you also:

1. add a new section to the README with your usage example - I.e under a "Re-using Regular Expressions"
2. add a ExampleRegisterPattern that demonstrates how to use it as well?

mux has a lot of features and it helps to document new ones well.
