Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The URL API/constructor is not currently supported in core NativeScript.

Describe the solution you'd like

Include a polyfill in NativeScript core so that it would be possible to make use of this standardized API: see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL for reference

Describe alternatives you've considered

Apply a local polyfill.

Anything else?

Currently the following runtime error is encountered when attempting to use the URL constructor:
const url = new URL("https://nativescript.org"); //ReferenceError: URL is not defined
