Update Open Graph Image URL to Absolute Path for Compatibility

[sanjaiyan-dev]

Ref-: #7789

Making the Open Graph image a full path URL (/assets/og-image.png to https://crates.io/assets/og-image.png). This change ensures that the Open Graph image works as expected, as Open Graph only supports absolute file paths.

while I can't seem to find any official documentation about this, there are enough tickets on various issue trackers that claim that relative URLs are not working on some platforms. since I don't see a downside in switching this to an absolute URL I guess we can merge this :)

small caveat: our staging environment will now point to the og:image of the production environment, but that seems like a small price to pay and not really an issue with static images anyway.

Unfortunately, yes. As far as I know, only absolute paths work correctly on most social media platforms, such as WhatsApp and Instagram.
