Improve handling of relative URLs

Hi there,

Thank you for all your hard work on the plugin! I have recently started using it, and I have run into a limitation for my use case: a table column of type “URL” can only handle absolute links.

If one tries to put a relative URL as the link value, it is mistakenly sanitized and converted to a nonsensical absolute URL. This works in Rich Text columns, where the links appear not to be sanitized, but this is less convenient than simply using a URL column.
I have attached an example of one instance where this issue has an impact:

I believe this behaviour stems from get_url_data in url.php and "fixLink" in public.bundle.js.

Due to specific needs for this website design, directly putting absolute URLs into the table is not an option; even ignoring that, I still believe this is a key feature that Tablesome should support in its URL column type anyways.

Thank you, and if you need any further information, please let me know!
