Description

Added support for route specific middleware using the .Use method.
Using the .Use method on Route middlewares can be set on a specific route.

Example:

router.HandleFunc("/", handlerFunc).Use(middleware)

Currently, you can add middleware to a single route by wrapping the handler in it:

router.Handle("/", middleware(http.HandlerFunc(myHandlerFunc)))

This approach works fine for a single middleware but becomes cluttered quickly when adding more than one:

router.Handle("/", middleware1(middleware2(http.HandlerFunc(myHandlerFunc))))

This got me thinking that it would be great if we could assign middleware to a route using the .Use method, similar to how it's done on the router. This would result in cleaner, more consistent, and more readable code. For example:

router.HandleFunc("/", handlerFunc)
    .Methods(http.MethodGet)
    .Use(middleware1, middleware2)
    .Name("route")
