Allow dots in Pages' path_prefix

Alisa Frunza requested to merge 507423-allow-dots-in-pages-path_prefix into master

What does this MR do and why?

This merge request enables the use of dots in the path_prefix in Pages URLs for Parallel Deployments. This is particularly useful for reflecting versioning conventions and allowing having different versions of a site, for example:

  • site.com/v1.1/path
  • site.com/v1.2/path

Dots are not allowed at the beginning or end of the path, they are trimmed.

🗒️ Important to note that this functionality is only enabled for projects with an active license.
