controller generator w/ module/namespace generates incorrect routes

#6139

Generating a controller in a module/namespace is advertised by the generator help text, but the generated routes are incorrect.

For example:
rails g controller One/Two edit index new show generates four separate routes:

get "two/edit"
get "two/index"
get "two/new"
get "two/show"

...and the accompanying functional tests fail.

It should really generate four namespaced routes:

namespace :one do
  get "two/edit"
  get "two/index"
  get "two/new"
  get "two/show"
end

...so the accompanying generated functional tests pass!

Since the generated routes are pretty much always going to be rewritten and it isn't necessarily the case that a namespaced controller is namespaced within the url I don't think that it's worth the development effort to get this to work. I do appreciate that we are generating tests that are broken out of the box but the generated code is a starting point and not the finished article.

Additionally with namespaced engines coming in Rails 3.1 there'll be even more instances where a namespaced controller does not namespace its urls - in fact there's even a test to ensure that it doesn't.
