Dotted path to the views in URL patterns is changed to a params parameter.
This change makes the URL mapping from URL to View method in patterns generic
where the base package path is taken from the params['module_package'] value
to support module system of Melange where inherited View classes override the
params['module_package'] value to specify their own View methods.
