Add option absolute url in formatter URL to image

Tested patch #28 on a site.

The full path doesn't show on a views.

To reproduce:

• Add a display to a media type that contains an image media field. I called mine "Full URL"
• Set the format of the field "URL to Image".
• Click the cogwheel and check the "Use absolute link". Select one image style and hit "Update" and "Save"
• Create a view for the content type that uses this media.
• Add the media field.
• Set Formatter = Rendered entity
• Set View mode = the same you create. In my case "Full URL"

The result is that the field still shows a relative path.

The new field was missing in the schema. The new checkbox is now below the image style selection.
I brought back the tests (see #30) and added a test for the new option.

Didn't look into #31 yet. I also agree with #30.2 but I guess that should be handled in another issue.

So with the new schema it will need an upgrade path for existing sites.

Here it is.

Tested the post_update hook and ran without issues
On a standard profile install reused the Article content type and changed Image field to be URL to image
Saw new setting and confirmed it worked as expected.

Will need a change record for the new setting. Nice to have before/after examples in it too.

Thanks!

This is exactly the change we needed for exposing image field data to external API consumers. Thanks to all who have contributed!

I took a first stab at a change record using a REST json output as the example. Hopefully that is sufficient and helps this one get merged.

Believe the CR should be good.

Cleaning up patches for clarity.

Reverified that the post_update hook runs without issue.
Verified that the new setting is appearing.

Test coverage follows the existing pattern for testing image formatters so seems good.

Just came across https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2811043 ✨ File formatter render absolute url to file Needs work (File formatter render absolute url to file) which looks like a more complete solution that includes both file + image absolute link options, tests, and cache context considerations.

We should focus on getting that issue merged instead as it is more complete?

If this should be closed as a dup

More I look at it I agree this is probably a duplicate, going to close this one out.
