Support absolute anchors when Storybook is deployed at non-root

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When Storybook is deployed at an URL like https://example.com/storybook/component-library/v48.3.2/, the anchors within docs content will remove the base url.

E.g. when you’re on https://example.com/storybook/component-library/v48.3.2/?path=/docs/components-icon--default and you have a link to /docs/components-button--default in the documentation, the resulting link will point to https://example.com/?path=/docs/components-button--default.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Build a storybook locally
Run npx http-server in a parent folder
Navigate to the storybook
Try clicking on a link as described above and it will fail

Expected behavior

The base url of the deployment should be considered for the link.
