Longest-Match Router

[jranson]

This patch replaces the embedded gorrila/mux router with a new Longest-Match router. The LM Router is made for high-performance proxies in that it only uses basic string prefix matching, with no path parameter parsing or use of regular expressions. Some notes:

• Path Prefix Matching does not require a trailing / separator, so /my/path-is-kinda-long will match a route of /my/path. Include the trailing / in the route config to avoid this as needed.
• The router auto-sorts prefix path routes from longest to shortest each time a route is registered, thus the sorting logic previously needed to work with Gorilla has been removed from /pkg/routing/routing.go.
• Route paths can be registered multiple times, with the last registration winning on a per-method basis.
• For routers that don't use host header or path prefix matching (e.g., the pprof router), those mechanisms can be disabled on the router itself for optimal route matching performance.
