I can't set the url with args (from django path), such as Martin tile server

[mdtrooper]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

For example:

urlpatterns.append(path("garden/<z>/<x>/<y>.pbf", mvt_view_factory(Garden)))

Problem description

I worked with Martin tile server and they has the standard ":
<url>/{schema_name}.{table_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

And your url is:

<url>/api/v1/data/example.mvt?tile=1/0/0

Expected Output

A vector tile.

Version Number

from requirements.txt:

Django==3.0.10
djangorestframework==3.11.1
djangorestframework-mvt==0.2.4

And python version (from Dockerfile):

FROM python:3.8

I stumbled upon the same...
Most vector tile servers seems to have z,x,y in url path (not in query).
IMO this would be more consistent

I think this is because djangorestframework-mvt uses django-rest-framework-gis's get_filter_bbox to generate the bbox and it only supports query_params. I have a forked branch of django-rest-framework-gis and a pull request for djangorestframework-mvt that does a pretty ham fisted job but works.

I suspect a better solution would be replicating get_filter_bbox in djangorestframework-mvt but would be nice to get some feedback before i try that.
