description:
Support for "try_files $uri ..." in regex locations with alias.

Previously, only adding extensions were supported by try_files when used
in a regex location with alias, such as in (3534:3711bb1336c3):

    location ~ /files/(.*) {
        alias /path/to/$1;
        try_files .html "" / =404;
    }

With this change, try_files now able to properly handle configurations
with $uri being used, similarly to other configurations with try_files,
such as in:

    location ~ /files/(.*) {
        alias /path/to/$1;
        try_files $uri.html $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

Note though that this change will break configurations similar to the
one in 6226:4bc94faeff66, where alias and try_files in a regex location
are used instead of root.
