strip an enabled URL prefix and write a validated locale onto context.

## The request locale
The locale lives on the request context, not in a global. For every route, [surf](../../modules/surf/README.md) sets it from the `Accept-Language` header; the `locale.from-principal` middleware switches it to the signed-in user's preferred locale. Code reads it with `towel.Locale`, and code outside a request sets it with `towel.WithLocale`, as the example above does. A context without a locale uses `app.locale`.

Every route also gets, around its own middleware, JSON panic recovery, the request locale from `Accept-Language`, the body limit from `http.body_limits.default_bytes`, and CORS headers when its path matches `http.cors.paths`.

Every route also gets, around its own middleware, JSON panic recovery, the request locale from a published [`surf.LocaleResolver`](../../modules/surf/README.md) or from `Accept-Language` when none is published, the body limit from `http.body_limits.default_bytes`, and CORS headers when its path matches `http.cors.paths`.

`pact.Router.GroupRaw` declares a raw group for routes that must not be wrapped in the house JSON middleware, such as webhooks, file streams or the OAuth endpoints: the default body limit is skipped, and a panic returns a bare 500.
