fix(@angular/ssr): support getPrerenderParams for wildcard routes

Handle `getPrerenderParams` return values when used with wildcard route paths.
Supports returning an array of path segments (e.g., `['category', '123']`) for `**` routes.

This enables more flexible prerendering configurations in server routes.

Example:
```ts
{
  path: '/product/**',
  renderMode: RenderMode.Prerender,
  async getPrerenderParams() {
    return [['category', '1'], ['category', '2']];
  }
}
```

Closes #30035
