Make Meteor.absoluteUrl use X-Sandstorm-Base-Path

[mitar]

Meteor application boundled for Sandstorm should have Meteor.absoluteUrl changed so that X-Sandstorm-Base-Path is used for its root path.

I implemented it this way:

• https://github.com/mitar/council-app/blob/master/packages/core/sandstorm-client.coffee
• https://github.com/mitar/council-app/blob/master/packages/core/sandstorm-server.coffee

The hack I initially written consisted in overwrite the Meteor.absoluteUrl to change its logic in a way that works on Sandstorm (here). Looking at the code again, it seems that a much easier way to have it work is to overwrite the client-side ROOT_URL variable that this function is using, instead of overwriting the function itself.

The value is defined here, and I guess the clean way would be either to set __meteor_runtime_config__.ROOT_URL or if we can’t to update Meteor.absoluteUrl.defaultOptions.rootUrl after client loading.
