Adding the ability to alter an entity's default URL route parameters

Problem/Motivation

Currently, there is no way to set default url route parameters besides modifying the entity class itself, but this may not always be practical. An example would be if a module would be adding link templates / entity routes to another module's entity.

Proposed resolution

I propose creating an alter hook call in the base Entity class' urlRouteParameter() method. See API Changes below.

Remaining tasks

Api documentation and hook already added. Needs peer review.

API changes

Entity API additions for a new alter hook hook_entity_url_route_parameters_alter().

There is currently another issue ( #2651974: field_ui_entity_operation() cannot respect route parameters because of incorrectly named routes → ) that I see as slightly related in the sense that another method could be created to encapsulate urlRouteParameters(), which itself could be public (such as getRouteParameters()), and that method could then call the alter hook after urlRouteParameters() is called to make sure that the alter hook is called after an entity's default parameters for every entity.
