Set browser cache invalidation headers on a PER route basis using Route Middleware.

        // This step is only needed if you are returning
        // a view in your Controller or elsewhere, because
        // when returning a view `$next($request)` returns
        // a View object, not a Response object, so we need
        // to wrap the View back in a Response.
