## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Login as any user
2.  "View source" - search for "My Page"
3.  Observe that "My Page" and "Signout" are relative, but "My Account" is absolute 
4.  Go to other points on a project page and note similar issuesproject

### What is the buggy behavior?

When accessing OpenProject from behind a reverse proxy - absolute URL breaks the application as the URL will not be available via the internet, only on the local network.

### What is the expected behavior?

All URls should be relative, there is no need to insert the protocol and host into the URLs on a page except for links to another server

### **Logs**
