Allow permalinks configuration syntax to url Front Matter.

[regisphilibert]

Currently

Currently, batch permalink settings can only happen through the site's config's permalinks object. For every setting, it takes a content directory as key and a string that can include "template strings" syntax as value.

To set the permalink of the /recipe directory using the slug:

permalinks:
  recipe: /delicious-recipe/:slug

That is limiting to batch editing content files of a root directory. The recent :sections templates brought more power to the desired permalink but did not fully resolve the limited "targeting" of the batch. For example, if your content files are in a subdirectory content/cooking/recipe, you would have no way (at least I did not find one) to target the files in the directory to batch assign a permalink structure.

The proposal

Allow the url Front Matter key to use the same syntax as permalink's configuration.
