Body: <p>Is it possible to use a wildcard when specifying the template path for a Commerce 2 product type?</p>
  
  <p>I want to format my URLs as <code>/type/product/variant</code><br>
  Where 'variant' could be a custom field applied to the product variant.</p>
  
  <p>In the settings for my product type I've tried a few things, including setting the "Category URI Format" to variations of <code>/type/{slug}/{variant.customField}</code> all to no avail. The template isn't found as soon as I include that third segment to the URL.</p>
  
  <p>I feel this should be possible to do with Routes but having much the same problem.</p>

  Have figured out that instead of setting a template path in my product type I can leave that blank and use a custom route instead.
  
  So in this case I set up a route for
  
  `/type/*/*` -> `shop/variant`
  
  It means I need to fetch the product entry manually in the template but that's no problem and it seems to be working.
