cy.visit() should allow override of baseUrl

[mryellow]

What would you like?

cy.visit() should itself accept the option baseUrl: null.

Then it can be disabled on a case-by-case basis without impacting an entire test by specifying in options for it or by calling Cypress.config('baseUrl', null).

Why is this needed?

	if (Cypress.isCrossOriginSpecBridge) {
	url = $Location.qualifyWithBaseUrl(Cypress.state('originCommandBaseUrl'), url)
	} else {
	const baseUrl = config('baseUrl')
	if (baseUrl) {
	url = $Location.qualifyWithBaseUrl(baseUrl, url)
	}
	}

file:// does not work in the same way.

It requires a relative path. Relative local paths are interpreted as URLs when baseUrl is set.

You'll note the attached issues feature people needing to call Cypress.config('baseUrl', null') before their cy.visit().

Mutating the config for a single call seems a little harsh when what is really required is simply setting baseUrl for the single cy.visit() call. Which could be done by adding it to the options in the signature.
