Support base prefix for url generator

[xepozz]

I want to write an application that will live under some path, e.g. /blog
So I have two ways to write my urls:

1. Each route should contain /blog
2. Add a prefix to url generator that will automatically add the prefix to all further urls

If I choose the first option that I need to rewrite all my urls when I want to move from /blog to /.
There are more problems than I described above: proxying, making extensions and etc.

Here is a workaround now. Place that code into config/bootstrap.php.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

return [
    function (\Psr\Container\ContainerInterface $container) {
        $urlGenerator = $container->get(\Yiisoft\Router\UrlGeneratorInterface::class);
        $urlGenerator->setUriPrefix('/blog');
    },
];

But be careful, because the SubFolder middleware may not affect it.

Also current debugger doesn't understand the SubFolder prefix.
Also assets package has different approach to configure base path

It's not a group. It's a base url.

In router url generator already support this via setUriPrefix() method. The problem is in yiisoft/assets package that does not take it into account.

Seems, adding router dependency to assets package is a bad idea. Maybe we can resolve this problem via configuration of packages or application templates.

Worth a look. I'm checking...
