Avoid executing PCRE for static routes by checking for PCRE metacharacters (including pattern delimiter '#') using strpbrk(). If none are present, perform a direct string comparison against the request URI. This reduces matching overhead from O(N) PCRE invocations to O(1) string checks for static routes while strictly preserving registration precedence and existing handler, Closure, redirect, and locale behavior.

Description
In
Router::checkRoutes(), every registered route was unconditionally evaluated withpreg_match('#^' . $routeKey . '$#u', $uri, $matches). In applications with dozens or hundreds of routes, matching routes located later in the table (or handling 404s) incurs significant PCRE overhead.This PR adds a fast-path for static routes:
strpbrk($routeKey, "()[]?*+{}^$\.|#")to detect PCRE metacharacters (including the pattern delimiter#).$routeKey !== $uriand skips PCRE execution.$routeKey === $uri, initializes$matches = [$uri]and proceeds directly to dispatch.Benchmark (10,000 iterations per scenario)
