Add publicUrl option to config

[Xiphe]

Stencil version:

@stencil/core@future

I'm submitting a:

• feature request

Current behavior:

the loader script does figure out the correct relative path which all lazy loaded files should use

Which is nice for most use cases and allows the config to not care about urls.
Drawback of this approach:

• does not support async scripts
• does not support moving the loader script relative to the lazy loaded files which might be useful for
  • inlining the loader
  • serving loader from different url (for CDN/caching reasons)

Expected behavior:

I would love to be able to provide a publicUrl via the config from which all lazy loaded files are loaded

Steps to reproduce:

• build a stencil app
• move the loader to another place
• update index.html to still load the loader
• see failing requests in network

Other information:

ref #307

If this sounds feasible to you, I'd love to work on a PR.

This is a sub-issue of #523

Hey! We have a publicPath config https://stenciljs.com/docs/config that changes the path where the loader file looks for your components. Is that what you are looking for in this case?

As @adamdbradley mentioned in his comment on #307: "the publicPath which is hardcoded into the loader script is just a fallback"

So this config is not used - thats why I opened this issue.

Should be fixed in the next release, thanks!
