Problem

The router does not parse + as space in query string. This is because the router will never put the + there, only %20. But other websites and services will change that %20 into + in the URL when they process URLs, for example facebook products.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. make app with router with query string route like ?:q

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Routable, PartialEq)]
#[rustfmt::skip]
pub enum Route {
    #[layout(Navbar)]
    #[route("/?:query")]
    Home {query: String},
}

2. navigate to page with space in q, for example query=Shis Kebap = https://dj-vaslui.alt-f4.ro/?query=Shis%20Kebap

3. copy/paste above URL into facebook messenger

4. click the processed URL from facebook messenger

5. Zuck will do MITM redirects on the URL and change it into https://dj-vaslui.alt-f4.ro/?query=Shis+Kebap and thus save on 2 bytes

6. dioxus router fails to parse the + as as per the URL spec, and my query string is now query=Shis+Kebap

Expected behavior

Router should parse + as as per URL spec, even if it never put the + there itself.
