Redirect /parameter/path.to.param to parameter/path/to/param

Depends on #694

The /parameter/path.to.param route is deprecated. Use a 301 to redirect it to the proper new route parameter/path/to/param

This is a breaking change, as clients which do not follow redirects may break if using the old path.

I'll just add that not following redirects in an API is much more common than one would expect, as many server-side request libraries do not do it by default to prevent blocking.

At the moment both forms are working, and it seems to me like this is just fine. We need only three lines of code to try both routes, and redirecting would likely not save any implementation complexity. In sum, I don't see much value in this issue, recommend closing. Any objections?
