Simpler API

Heads up! This is a fairly large change (again) and I need to apologize in advance. If I foresaw what this version would have ended up being I would not have released version 7. A longer blog post and explanation will be incoming this week, but the pivot has been due to work on Express.js v5 and this will the finalized syntax used in Express moving forward.

Edit: The post is out - https://blakeembrey.com/posts/2024-09-web-redos/

Added

• Adds key names to wildcards using *name syntax, aligns with : behavior but using an asterisk instead

Changed

• Removes group suffixes of ?, +, and * - only optional exists moving forward (use wildcards for +, {*foo} for *)
• Parameter names follow JS identifier rules and allow unicode characters

Added

• Parameter names can now be quoted, e.g. :"foo-bar"
• Match accepts an array of values, so the signature is now string | TokenData | Array<string | TokenData>

Removed

• Removes loose mode
• Removes regular expression overrides of parameters
