Breadcrumb grouping (Breadcrumbs::group())

[robjbrain]

I've been using this for a while and really like it, but thought i'd suggest a couple of improvements.

It would be awesome if you could add breadcrumb grouping like how laravel does route grouping.

Something like this:

Breadcrumbs::group(array('parent' => 'admin'), function($breadcrumbs) {
    Breadcrumbs::register('users', function($breadcrumbs)
    {
        $breadcrumbs->users('Users', URL::to('admin/users'));
    });
})

That way you don't have to constantly write $breadcrumbs->parent('admin') for every single admin page (or $breadcrumbs->parent('home') for that matter)

I personally like to be explicit about it, but I wouldn't oppose adding this if someone wants to write it.

Something to think about: Where would you put children of the 'users' route? Assuming they're inside the group too, you could end up with 'admin' being displayed twice, since now technically it's a parent of both breadcrumbs - unless there is some code to prevent that.

You could also have another option for 'prefix':

Breadcrumbs::register('admin', function($breadcrumbs) {
    $breadcrumbs->push('Admin', URL::to('admin'));
});

Breadcrumbs::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'parent' => 'admin'], function($breadcrumbs)
{
    Breadcrumbs::register('users', function($breadcrumbs) {
        $breadcrumbs->push('Users', URL::to('admin/users'));
    });

    Breadcrumbs::register('users.edit', function($breadcrumbs, $user) {
        $breadcrumbs->parent('admin.users');
        $breadcrumbs->push('Users', URL::to('admin/users/edit/' . $user->id));
    });
});

The downside of that is it's no longer easy to see where 'admin.users' is defined.

Just some things to think about if you (or someone else) decide to do a PR.

@robjbrain suggestion is right and it should be implemented for breadcrumb.That will help us to group all like routes
