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.

This is so that server side rendering does not throw an exception when it encounters animations on the server side and does not need the user to explicitly setup NoopAnimationsModule in their app server module.
