Allow opting into legacy backend pages per route in the admin #6544

Description

@AlistairNorman

Desired Behavior

Add configuration to allow selective use of old admin pages on a per route basis when the new admin is enabled. This will be configuration option that would be set in an initializer.

Current Behavior

You can select old or new but not choose a subset of pages to use the old admin on while having the new one enabled. (Old admin is still used when new admin doesn't implement the page currently)

Additional notes

Some stores have heavily customized old admin pages that will not easily port to the new admin. This will allow them to use the new admin while keeping their current heavily customized pages

    @AlistairNorman should we close this one out?

    I was thinking maybe I should also add a bit of documentation to the Solidus Docs website explaining this as part of the migration process?

    I think we should close this out after the documentation has been updated. I think just adding a sentence or two and an example proc to the Transitioning from Spree::Admin to SolidusAdmin section of the Customizing the Backend Solidus guides article would be plenty enough at this point.
