Add support for ^~ location modifier in VirtualServer CRD #9119
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, it's not possible to define a route with a ^~ "longest matching prefix location" modifier as supported by nginx location directive.
Describe the solution you'd like
^~ is fully supported in VirtualServers.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently supported regular expressions in some way can provide similar functionality, but it will not be a 1:1 configuration as supported by non-NIC nginx setups.
Additional context
This is coming from a customer request migrating their VM-based nginx install to NIC.
