Feature Request: Support for Path-Based Routing

Summary

I'd like to request support for path-based routing, similar to NGINX's location blocks, in Pangolin.

This feature would allow Pangolin to route traffic based on the request path, not just the domain or port — enabling more advanced reverse proxy behavior that's often required in modern self-hosted setups.

Use Case: Matrix Homeservers (`/.well-known` Routing)

Matrix homeservers (e.g., Synapse, Dendrite, Conduit) require specific endpoints to be available at the root of a domain to support federation and client discovery:

https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server
https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/client

These endpoints are not served by the Matrix backend itself. Instead, they usually come from a separate static site or another service, sometimes even hosted on a different IP or port.

In NGINX, this would look like:

location /.well-known/matrix/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000; # separate service
}

location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008; # synapse
}
