dev/joomla#26 - Fix path derivation when CMS is rooted in a subdir
Overview
--------
CiviCRM is deployed inside a CMS. The CMS is usually deployed at the HTTP root (`http://example.org`),
but it is sometimes deployed in a subdirectory (`http://example.org/my-cms`).
Some asset URLs are computed using the variables `[civicrm.bower]`, `[civicrm.packages]`, and `[civicrm.vendor]`, which
are derived from the value of `[civicrm.root]`. However, if the site is deployed in a subdirectory, and if using v5.23,
then the computation of `[civicrm.bower]` (etc) can misbehave.
Before
------
When the URL for `[civicrm.bower]` (or similar) is derived, it goes through multiple filters - first, from absolute to
relative, and then later from relative back to absolute. In the process, the base is inadvertently changed.
After
-----
When the URL is derived, it is computed in absolute format - and simply kept that way.
Comments
--------
Regarding test coverage, there are two relevant unit-tests. This PR only updates one.
* `E2E\Core\PathUrlTest`: This is a more concrete smoke test which demonstrates functional problems with variables like
`[civicrm.bower]`. It should already catch problems like dev/joomla#26... but only if you run the E2E suite on a system
where the CMS was deployed to a subdirectory. `civibuild` doesn't currently include such a build-type.
* `Civi\Core\PathsTest`: This is a more abstract, headless test to examine edge-cases in `Civi\Core\Paths`. It does not
specifically check for `[civicrm.bower]` or similar variables (b/c the URL routing is ill-defined in a headless context).
However, I've updated it to compare/contrast the working and non-working ways to derive variables.
