Feature: on Go 1.22, fill (*http.Request).PathValue with URLParam data

[AlexVasiluta]

Hey y'all!
For Go 1.22, this enhanced ServeMux routing proposal was accepted and pushed into the main tree, and *http.Request has some new methods, SetPathValue and PathValue. I think r.PathValue(...) could act as an alias for chi.URLParam(r, ...) when routing with chi.

There would probably need to be some logic with //go:build go1.22 that runs SetPathValue when inserting keys/values into chi.Context.URLParams for the corresponding http.Request. I have not dug deeper into chi's source code, but I think this would be a welcome addition for when Go 1.22 is released.

most definitely will add support for the r.PathValue(..)

I just opened pull request #901 for this

@angelofallars that seems to be an urelated PR, maybe #901 instead?

[angelofallars]

@ptman Whoops, tagged the wrong PR. Thanks for pointing that out

BTW, it is sometimes handy that you can get the url param from the context instead of from the request. So thanks for keeping chi.URLParamFromCtx while still supporting r.PathValue!
