Throw an exception when building route paths unsupported by Drupal

Problem/Motivation

I recently tried to implement a route of the format /openapi/{plugin_id}.{content_type} to allow for a URL like /openapi/jsonapi.yaml. This is supported upstream in Symfony but not in Drupal → . (Similarly, you cannot have two parameters which are not separated by a slash, such as {a}{b}.

Steps to reproduce

This is a Drupalism and confusing. Tackling the underlying constraints is a huge lift, but we should at least throw an exception when compiling routes when Drupal doesn't like the path.

Proposed resolution

Throw an exception when compiling route paths that we know aren't supported by Drupal, with a pointer to helpful docs.

This would be very helpfull. Right now, Drupal just shows a 'page not found' message when the route is invalid.

@Akhil Babu, thanks for this! I think this change could be made pretty easily, and your MR gets at the core (only?) real code change that needs to be made. (I think a LogicException might be more appropriate here?)

What this needs, though, is tests that validate the universe of allowed and disallowed patterns. That would also help in documenting in code what is and isn't allowed by Drupal's route builder.
