AngularJS 1.2.x doesn't support routes with empty parameters

[alex3683]

If a parameter in a navigateRequest is null or empty, it is encoded as the empty string in the place url (e.g. something like /myPlace/:arg1/:arg2 with arg1 being null would lead to /myPlace//arg2Value). It then should be decoded as null for the follow up didNavigate event.
With AngularJS this isn't possible anymore due to changed regular expressions in ngRoute (angular/angular.js#1745). The route simply isn't matched and a redirect to the otherwise route takes place. We thus need to work around this, until we possibly replace it with our own lighter version.

Fixed in master (v0.14.0) and release-0.13.x (v0.13.2).
