Add regular expression support/wildcard support to context

[roc]

It would be great to get some support for regex/wildcard matching in the context.

So for example

context: [ '/api/houses/*/rooms' ]

— where * is whatever house ID we have at that point.

This would be really useful when you want to proxy '/api/houses/*/rooms' but don't want to proxy e.g. '^/api/houses/'
