Optimise named route generation when using positional arguments. Closes #9450 [Koz]

  This change delivers significant performance benefits for the most
  common usage scenarios for modern rails applications by avoiding the
  costly trip through url_for.  Initial benchmarks indicate this is
  between 6 and 20 times as fast.
