$route, $routeParams and ngView have been pulled from core angular.js
to angular-route.js/ngRoute module.
This is was done to in order keep the core focused on most commonly
used functionality and allow community routers to be freely used
instead of $route service.
There is no need to panic, angular-route will keep on being supported
by the angular team.
Note: I'm intentionally not fixing tutorial links. Tutorial will need
bigger changes and those should be done when we update tutorial to
1.2.
BREAKING CHANGE: applications that use $route will now need to load
angular-route.js file and define dependency on ngRoute module.
Before:
```
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['someOtherModule']);
...
```
After:
```
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-route.js"></script>
...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute', 'someOtherModule']);
...
```
Closes#2804
Commit 773ac4a broke support for route parameters that are not seperated
from other route parts by slashes, which this change fixes. It also adds
some documentation about path parameters to the when() method and
escapes all regular expression special characters in the URL, not just
some.
Routes like '/bar/foovalue/barvalue' matching '/bar/:foo/:bar'
now are well mapped in $routeParams to:
{bar:'barvalue', foo:'foovalue'}

Previously one had to write:
$routeProvider.when('/foo', {...});
$routeProvider.when('/bar', {...});
$routeProvider.otherwise({...});
After this change it's just:
$routeProvider.
when('/foo', {...}).
when('/bar', {...}).
otherwise({...});
Breaks #when which used to return the route definition object but now
returns self. Returning the route definition object is not very useful
so its likely that nobody ever used it.
