Simplify private file routing

Problem/Motivation

Fixing #3312198: Regression concerning the cache of private files is tricky because of PathProcessorFiles, which converts paths like system/files/path/to/private/file.txt to an internal path of system/files?file=path/to/private/file.txt.

PathProcessorFront claims that "the route system does not allow arbitrary amount of parameters", but Symfony supports it using route parameters and this is surely fixable in the rest of Drupal's routing system.

This would hopefully help to fix this issue and also solve a source of confusion about how the private file routing works, as I've had to trace through this before and it is always tricky.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Refactor away PathProcessorFiles so it is no longer needed.
