Label request metrics by route, not by path (closes #254)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

The metrics middleware labelled each request with its path, so every
new path added series to the registry that were never removed, and
/metrics listed the token of every encrypted URL requested. The handler
label is now the pattern of the chi route the request will match, looked
up before routing, or "unmatched" when none does. /v1 and /v1/ ask the
image subrouter, and an empty path is looked up as /, as chi routes it.
TestMetricsRecordsServedRequest expects "unmatched" in place of "/test",
as the owner approved.
