Navigate to a URL. Returns a promise that resolves when navigation is complete.
It's preferred to navigate with navigate instead of this method, since URLs are more brittle.
If the given URL begins with a /, router will navigate absolutely.
If the given URL does not begin with /, the router will navigate relative to this component.
