Change url regex to allow :variables

[WeslleyNasRocha]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch strapi-plugin-menus@1.4.1 for the project I'm working on.

What i'm trying to do is use a pattern to replace for variables in my application, now we use the pattern of :variable but the plugin doesn't allow this kind of character.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:
