drop typed_eid() in favour of int() (closes #2742462) typed_eid was introduced to abstract the eid type when running on Google AppEngine. It is not used anymore and can be removed. Let's use int() instead.

"""Associate url's path to view identifier / rql queries.

CubicWeb finds all registered URLPathEvaluators, orders them according
to their ``priority`` attribute and calls their ``evaluate_path()``
method. The first that returns something and doesn't raise a
``PathDontMatch`` exception wins.

Here is the default evaluator chain:

1. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.RawPathEvaluator` handles
   unique url segments that match exactly one of the registered
   controller's *__regid__*. Urls such as */view?*, */edit?*, */json?*
   fall in that category;

2. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.EidPathEvaluator` handles
   unique url segments that are eids (e.g. */1234*);

3. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.URLRewriteEvaluator`
   selects all urlrewriter components, sorts them according to their
   priorty, call their ``rewrite()`` method, the first one that
   doesn't raise a ``KeyError`` wins. This is where the
   :mod:`cubicweb.web.views.urlrewrite` and
   :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlrewrite.SimpleReqRewriter` comes into
   play;

4. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.RestPathEvaluator` handles
   urls based on entity types and attributes : <etype>((/<attribute
   name>])?/<attribute value>)?  This is why ``cwuser/carlos`` works;

5. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.ActionPathEvaluator`
   handles any of the previous paths with an additional trailing
   "/<action>" segment, <action> being one of the registered actions'
   __regid__.


.. note::

 Actionpath executes a query whose results is lost
 because of redirecting instead of direct traversal.
