Expose URL alias fields to views

@mcaddz can you confirm if the pathauto module is enabled or not?

@isalmanhaider no this just relates to the core path_alias module.

Hi there @mcaddz and @isalmanhaider. I've just figured out how to add some of these features to path_alias myself but would like to test/extend/progress your work instead. If I look at the git repo I can't see how to create a patch for your work against D9.5. It looks like you probably were working against 10.1. Is there a way to create a patch that I can bring in to my composer.json?

@queenvictoria it doesn't look like there's any commits in MR 4026 yet.

You might need to rebase your changes against core 9.5.x and upload a patch file here to add to composer.patches.json.

Thanks @mcaddz.

Attached is my patch against 9.5.

Should I go ahead and make an MR as well?

@queenvictoria yes absolutely :)

You could either push to 4026 or create a new 11.x issue fork. Will need tests though.

Fixed failures in #9.

Thanks for working on this. I think this still needs tests (as per IS and #10).

Something worth pointing out here that our client just found is that the Url ViewsField plugin doesn't handle alias/paths properly when display_as_link is set.

This is because it always prepends a / to the path. In the case of path_alias entities, they already have a /. This results in double slashes and breaks the url entirely. We should ensure we have test coverage around this and probably just add an ltrim to the plugin.
