🐞 Describe the bug

The first argument for add_static matches on any path that starts with that string. For instance, if you specify "h", then add_static will match on "h" or "help" or "hoover".

💡 To Reproduce

Run this code:

from aiohttp import web

async def handle(request):
    name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
    text = "Hello, " + name
    return web.Response(text=text)

app = web.Application()

router = app.router

router.add_static("/h", "./")

router.add_routes([web.get('/', handle),
                web.get('/{name}', handle)])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    web.run_app(app)

Add a text file in the current working directory named test.txt and put some text in there.

Then navigate to the following URLs to demonstrate the issue:

• http://0.0.0.0:8080/
• http://0.0.0.0:8080/groot
• http://0.0.0.0:8080/h/test.txt
• http://0.0.0.0:8080/hoover

The last link unexpectedly returns a 404.

💡 Expected behavior

I would have expected http://0.0.0.0:8080/hoover to have similar behavior to http://0.0.0.0:8080/groot, and render "Hello, hoover".
