Validate API paths against the page origin, not a placeholder

The guard resolved paths against a fixed placeholder origin, so
//same-origin.invalid/api/v1/me passed and fetch sent the CSRF token to
that host. apiFetch now resolves against location.origin, refuses
anything off that origin or outside /api/v1/, and fetches the validated
path-absolute URL.
