Add support for optional root segments containing slashes

Optional segments with a root scope need to have the leading slash
outside of the parentheses, otherwise the generated url will be empty.
However if the route has non-optional elements then the leading slash
needs to remain inside the parentheses otherwise the generated url
will have two leading slashes, e.g:

Blog::Application.routes.draw do
  get '/(:category)', :to => 'posts#index', :as => :root
  get '/(:category)/author/:name', :to => 'posts#author', :as => :author
end

$ rake routes
  root GET /(:category)(.:format)              posts#index
author GET (/:category)/author/:name(.:format) posts#author

This change adds support for optional segments that contain a slash,
allowing support for urls like /page/2 for the root path, e.g:

Blog::Application.routes.draw do
  get '/(page/:page)', :to => 'posts#index', :as => :root
end

$ rake routes
root GET /(page/:page)(.:format) posts#index

Fixes #7073
