Breaking changes on sitemapy versions >=2.4.0

In versions prior to 2.4.0, urls would already have the starting slash prefixed. Now that is left for the user to define themselves, it makes more sense.

Prior to 2.4.0

const url = "about";

Would result in "https://example.com/about"

After and including version 2.4.0

const url = "/about";

Would result in "https://example.com/about"
