Alan Agius e0b5078cf2 fix(platform-server): prevent SSRF bypasses via protocol-relative and backslash URLs
The `parseUrl` function in `ServerPlatformLocation` uses `new URL(urlStr, origin)` to parse incoming request URLs during SSR. Per the WHATWG URL specification, protocol-relative URLs (`//evil.com`) and backslash-prefixed URLs (`/\evil.com`) can override the hostname component of the base URL.

This vulnerability typically manifests in SSR setups (e.g., Express) where `req.url` is passed directly to `renderApplication` or `renderModule`:

```typescript
// Example usage in an Express server handling: http://localhost:4000//evil.com
app.get('*', async (req, res) => {
  const html = await renderApplication(bootstrap, {
    document: template,
    url: req.url, // req.url is "//evil.com"
  });
  res.send(html);
});
```
