Re: [whatwg/url] Support relative URLs (#531)

If I'm reading this right it sounds like @annevk justification for not wanting to make changes to the API is because it's not a problem in browsers, and who cares about Node. There has been more than enough people in this issue and [related Node issue](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/12682) saying this is a problem, whether you do or don't see the use case many other people do have perfectly valid use cases. 

I get why it may well be difficult or problematic, especially if it involves changing an active API but the initial implementation was short-sighted and missed a core piece of functionality people actually need. This needs a course correction.
