AJAX AddCssCommand may fail if asset path does not end in .css

Problem/Motivation

The add_css() method passes the verbatim URL of a CSS asset to loadjs(). This can be a problem for URLs that do not end in .css - loadjs may not realize it should be treating it as a CSS asset. This can lead to the asset being blocked by the browser, on account of a MIME type mismatch.

See https://github.com/muicss/loadjs/issues/39 for an issue in the loadjs repository discussing this same problem.

Steps to reproduce

  • Declare a library with an extension-less CSS asset, e.g. https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather:400,700
  • Load the library in an AJAX call. (My particular use case: CKEditor5 libraries are not always loaded immediately, but may be loaded in an AJAX call, e.g. un-collapsing a Paragraph.)

Proposed resolution

I think this could be a simple fix. loadjs can be forced to regard any file as a CSS asset by prepending "css!" to the start of a URL. As far as I know, it is expected all URLs passed to add_css() to be CSS files. If that assumption is correct, ajax.js could be changed to prepend the "css!" modifier for all assets.
