Partially recast the router API to be a lot more intuitive. (#2469)
* Recast the router API to be a lot more intuitive.

Fixes #2387
Fixes #2072
Fixes quite a few issues reported on Gitter.

For `m.route.Link`:

- More intuitive
- More accessible
- More ergonomic
- It can be disabled
- It can be cancelled
- It can be changed
- Oh, and you can use it isomorphically.

For `m.route.prefix`

- You can *read* it.
- You can write to it, of course.
- It's literally just setting a property.

For the router itself (and the rest of Mithril):

- You can now `require("mithril")` and all its submodules without a DOM
  at all. There is a catch: you can't instantiate any routes, you can't
  mount anything, and you can't invoke `m.render` in any capacity. You
  can only use `m.route.Link`, `m.route.prefix`, hyperscript stuff, and
  `mithril/stream`, and you can use `m.request` with `background: true`
  if you use a global XHR polyfill. (You can't use `m.request` without
  `background: true` except with a DOM to redraw with.) The goal here is
  to try to get out of the way for simple testing and to defer the
  inevitable `TypeError`s for the relevant DOM methods to runtime.

  The factory requires no arguments, and in terms of globals, you can
  just figure out based on what errors are thrown what globals to
  define. Their values don't matter - they just need to be set to
  *something*, even if it's just `null` or `undefined`, before Mithril
  executes.

Had to make quite a few other changes throughout the docs and tests to
update them accordingly. Oh, and that massive router overhaul enabled me
to do all this.

Also, slip in a few drive-by fixes to the mocks so they're a little
easier to work with and can accept more URLs. This was required for a
few of the tests.

* Update changelog + numbers, add forgotten bundle option

* Add PR numbers to changelog [skip ci]

* Allow continuing to the next match by returning `false`.

* Update numbers again
