Description

Add additional methods that take varargs for controller parameters for cases where the controller's @RequestMapping annotation contains path variables.

This will simplify the usage of the API in these cases, by not requiring the use of the more verbose "linkFor().slash(id)" syntax.

I've created a PullRequest that includes these changes along with a unit test to show how the changes will work.

Research direction

Start with the EntityLinks API and the unit test mentioned in the issue, focusing on controller parameters used with @RequestMapping path variables. The work is done when varargs-based methods support these cases and the unit test demonstrates the simplified usage.
