fix: Fix issue with using privileged commands when baseUrl includes basic auth credentials

[chrisbreiding]

• Closes "must only be invoked from the spec file or support file." errors using cy.selectFile() & cy.readFile() #27457
• Closes Since Cypress 12.15.0 (and on 13.5.0 still), "cy.readFile must only be invoked..." when using basic auth credentials in baseUrl #28336

Additional details

The fetch request to /add-verified-command failed when basic auth credentials were included in the baseUrl, causing privileged commands to not be recognized as verified. Fully qualifying the URL for the fetch fixes the issue.

Steps to test

Use this reproduction or TL:DC (too long, didn't clone):

• Set baseUrl: https://basicuser:[email protected]/ in cypress config
• Run a privileged command like cy.readFile("cypress/fixtures/example.json") in your spec
