Build regex pattern for URI template, handling RFC 6570 syntax.
Supports:
{var} - simple path parameter{var*} - wildcard path parameter (captures multiple segments){?var1,var2} - query parameters (ignored in path matching)Returns None if the template produces an invalid regex (e.g. parameter names with hyphens, leading digits, or duplicates from a remote server).
