Request Forgery takes relative paths into account

Passing relative paths into form_for and related helpers led to invalid
token generations, as the tokens did not match the request.path on the
POST endpoint. Variants, such as:

form_for url:
* ""
* "./"
* "./post_one"
* "post_one"

are now handled according to [RFC 3986 5.2 - 5.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.2)

Limitations: double dots are not handled (../../path)

relevant issue: #31191
