fix(@angular/ssr): ensure correct Location header for redirects behind a proxy

Previously, when the application was served behind a proxy, server-side redirects generated an incorrect Location header, causing navigation issues. This fix updates `createRequestUrl` to use the port from the Host header, ensuring accurate in proxy environments. Additionally, the Location header now only contains the pathname, improving compliance with redirect handling in such setups.

Closes #29151
