In version 10.0.0-next.8, we introduced absolute URL support for
server-based HTTP requests, so long as the fully-resolved URL was
provided in the initial config. However, doing so represents a
breaking change for users who already have their own interceptors
to model this functionality, since our logic executes before all
interceptors fire on a request. See original PR #37071.
Therefore, we introduce a flag to make this change consistent with
v9 behavior, allowing users to opt in to this new behavior. This
commit also fixes two issues with the previous implementation:
1. if the server was initiated with a relative URL, the absolute
URL construction would fail because needed components were empty
2. if the user's absolute URL was on a port, the port would not
be included

Previously, we would simply prepend any relative URL with the HREF
for the current route (pulled from document.location). However,
this does not correctly account for the leading slash URLs that
would otherwise be parsed correctly in the browser, or the
presence of a base HREF in the DOM.
Therefore, we use the built-in URL implementation for NodeJS,
which implements the WHATWG standard that's used in the browser.
We also pull the base HREF from the DOM, falling back on the full
HREF as the browser would, to form the correct request URL.

PR Close#37341
Currently, requests from the server that do not use absolute URLs
fail because the server does not have the same fallback mechanism
that browser XHR does. This adds that mechanism by pulling the
full URL out of the document.location object, if available.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.

Fixes#23023.
When a HTTP Interceptor injects HttpClient it causes a DI cycle. This fix is to use Injector to lazily inject HTTP_INTERCEPTORS while setting up the HttpHandler on the server so as to break the cycle.
PR Close#24229
HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
Unlike in the browser, on the server there is no concept of a document origin.
Thus, it is illegal to make requests for relative URLs against Http on platform-server.
Currently this fails with a vague error:
Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error at resolvePromise
This change adds explicit validation and a friendlier error message:
Error: URLs requested via Http on the server must be absolute. URL: /testing
Another option considered was to track the concept of an origin for the platform
and automatically prepend it to relative URLs. This would cause automatic "local
RPCs" to be made, though, which would be an unexpected and undesirable default
behavior.
