luci-base: properly handle promise targets in Request.request()
Under some circumstances, ubus RPC requests may be initiated while LuCI is
still resolving the `rpcBaseURL` value. In this situation, the `target`
argument of the `request()` call will be a pending promise object which
results in an invalid URL when serialized by `expandURL()`, leading to an
`Failed to execute 'open' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Invalid URL` exception.
This commonly occured on the index status page which immediately initiates
ubus RPC calls on load to discover existing status page partials.
Solve the issue by filtering the given `target` argument through
`Promise.resolve()` before expanding the URL and initiating the actual
request.
Fixes: #3747
