What happened?
Description
Prior to 5.3 we could use root-relative links in the URL field type, now the new "Link" field.
On sites that use root-relative links extensively this will cause validation errors when attempting to save.
We don't want to use absolute URLs for internal links because they need to work on both dev and live environments, which use different TLDs.
We don't want to update all content to use element relationships because 1) Not everything on a given site is necessarily a URL-addressable Entry/Category/Asset, and 2) Your docs state that elements are not currently eager-loadable, and 3) it'll take ages on old sites that already have lots of populated URL fields.
Can we please just allow URLs that start with a slash to maintain backwards compatibility? (We'll have lots of Craft 3 & 4 sites to upgrade soon and this will be a show-stopper for those).
