Cédric Exbrayat 3c8b33ab3a fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): add a base href to karma context (#12889)
This commits adds a base href value in the karma context iframe used to run unit tests.

It solves a very old issue in Angular https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/12295 where a unit test throws:

    No base href set. Please provide a value for the APP_BASE_HREF token or add a base element to the document.

even if the application is fine. This is because the `index.html` from Angular CLI contains a base href value, but not the Karma context iframe. So when adding a unit test with a testing module that imports a NgModule, for example `AppModule`, which itself imports `RouterModule`, the unit test used to throw an error (regression appeared in router 3.1).

That could be solved by either adding `RouterTestingModule` to the testing module, or by adding a provider `{ provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: '/' }`, but required to understand the issue (see how many thumbs up there are on the original issue).

This solves the issue in a transparent way: developers won't even encounter the problem anymore.
