BackendController
This is the master controller for all back-end pages.
class Backend\Classes\BackendController
extends Illuminate\Routing\ControllerAll requests that are prefixed with the backend URI pattern are sent here, then the next URI segments are analysed and the request is routed to the relevant back-end controller.
For example, a request with the URL /backend/acme/blog/posts will look
for the Posts controller inside the Acme.Blog plugin.
