Since version v2.1.6 https://jbrowse.org/jb2/blog/2022/10/19/v2.1.6-release/ the 'loading external plugins in embedded lgv' demo has been broken. This is due to changes in the PluginLoader to support loading relative paths (relative to a window.location.href or baseUrl) in jbrowse-web
This came from a confusion in my case that new URL(someUrl,baseUrl='') would just ignore the baseUrl, but it actually throws an exception when baseUrl is an empty string. This updates the code to use undefined instead of empty string, and then wires the code so undefineds flow through the pluginLoader instead of empty string
