Consider adding a UseMvcWithDefaultRoute extension on BuilderExtensions that adds default routes to the route collection

[pranavkm]

Based on the discussion here - https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/pull/1880/files#r23486914.

This would be a convenience method that is essentially what UseMvc did prior to it being removed as part of #1880

I'd like to state that it is critical that trivial apps not require a bunch of setup code.

Attribute routing solves this to a good degree. For conventional routing users it's now a bit of a hassle.

If we think attribute routing is the recommended approach for the "getting started" scenario, then I'd concede that the importance of this feature is lower. (And, it can be added at any time.)

The work involved in building this feature is negligible. Just need a good name.

Some ideas:

1. .UseMvcWithDefaultRoute()
2. .UseMvcConvention() / .UseMvcConventions()
3. .UseMvcWithConvention() / .UseMvcWithConventions()
4. .UseMvcAuto()
5. .UseMvcDefault() / .UseMvcDefaults()

[pranavkm]

We use the term Conventions for other things in Mvc - https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/dev/src/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Core/ApplicationModels/ApplicationModelConventions.cs. Might result in confusing term overload.

@ajaybhargavb let's go with the name UseMvcWithDefaultRoute for now.
