[server] Feature request: Allow custom routing

[jepotter1-archive]

Long story short

I am creating a package based on aiohttp (https://github.com/jwinnie/maglev). This package implements custom routing behaviors based on middleware.

Expected behaviour

I am able to disable the routing mechanism and jump straight to the handle function for all routes.

Actual behaviour

I currently use a workaround which probably impacts performance:

app.add_routes([web.route("*", "/{tail:.*}", handle)])
