BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, route configuration took a controller constructor function as the value of
`component` in a route definition:
```
$route.config([
{ route: '/', component: MyController }
])
```
Based on the name of the controller, we used to use a componentMapper service to
determine what template to pair with each controller, how to bind the instance to
the $scope.
To make the 1.x router more semantically alligned with Angular 2, we now route to a directive.
Thus a route configuration takes a normalized directive name:
```
$route.config([
{ route: '/', component: 'myDirective' }
])
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
In order to avoid name collisions, lifecycle hooks are now prefixed with `$`. Before:
```
MyController.prototype.onActivate = ...
```
After:
```
MyController.prototype.$onActivate = ...
```
Same for `$canActivate` (which now lives on the directive factory function),
`$canDeactivate`, `$canReuse`, and `$onDeactivate` hooks.
