Work with rootURL other than /

[scottkidder]

Hi, thanks for your great work on this project. It's really cool to see Ember being used to bootstrap something that I can hand off directly to non-developers and watch them get stuff done really quickly.

We want to deploy this internally on an existing subdomain with an alternate rootURL. I've changed rootURL in config/environment.js but it seems that ember-data is using absolute paths so the requests for versions.json and pages.json are failing.

Have there been any thoughts around this? I can work on a PR if it seems reasonable.

Hey @scottkidder thanks for the request 🎉 sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you on this.

I understand that quite a few people have asked for the feature of being able to deploy this to a subfolder instead of a subdomain but I would like to know more about your specific use case before we can really fix this 🤔 firstly, you say that you have an "existing subdomain" so I'm imagining you have something like https://docs.yourawesomeapp.com which is some sort of landing page and you're looking to deploy a guidemaker site at https://docs.yourawesomeapp.com/guides is that right? Is the existing application based on Ember too?

@jelhan if you want to also give your use case here too that would be very useful 👍

I want to deploy the guides to a GitLab Pages automatically in CI. The default domain name for GitLab pages for a repository is http(s)://username.example.io/projectname.
