[Bug 1937850] [NEW] the -L / --relative option breaks --accept-regex

[Bill Yikes]

Public bug reported:

This code should in principle (per the docs) fetch a few *.pdf files:

$ wget -r --level 1 --adjust-extension --relative --no-clobber --no-directories\
       --domains=ncua.gov --accept-regex 'administrative-orders/.*.pdf'\
       'https://www.ncua.gov/regulation-supervision/enforcement-actions/administrative-orders?page=22&sort=year&dir=desc&sq='

But it misses all *.pdf files.  When the --relative option is removed,
the PDF files are downloaded.  However, when you examine the tree-top
HTML file, the links pointing to PDF files actually are relative.
