This should be merged only after octobercms/october#611 will be merged, as current plugin depends from the system core methods

After apply the diff to working website - need to rebuild menu links, or change the field is_absolute at DB to 1, where links are absolute (by default all links are absolute)

This PR sets Page item types to relative but all the others stay absolute resulting in confusing behavior. I can't merge this.

Here is 4 commits.
In commit ea7a260 I fix the absolute/relative switcher should be shown only for a Page.

For link - there is no term "absolute" or "relative", as I think you mean in the beginning that link - is an external link, so ,should have http:// in the beginning.

For partials as well, do you think partials should be called by relative/absolute link? I think the way it is now is enough.

The only one problem was - link to a page, as we anyway have to select an internal page - there is no sense to make absolute path! The relative is enough. But some times it could be necessary to tell builder exactly about relative or absolute

I kind of disagree with some of this.

Pages/blogs (onsite stuff) should always be stored as relative (ie /blog/5 rather than https://octobercms.com/blog/5) because they are always going to be on the site and there is no need to store the domain (as it can change).

Links on the other hand should have a switcher (or no switcher at all and just let the user put whatever they want in the text box). As you could link to an offsite url (thus needing to be absolute) or simply linking to a custom onsite url (like if you specify a custom route). The custom onsite url wouldn't need to be absolute, and you probably wouldn't want it to be.

Also, fyi, the referenced october PR was commited.
