Router: location.path is old URL during all component hooks. Updates after a tick. #10909

Current behavior

The location.path() value remains the old URL after a component's Lifecycle Hooks have been called.

After a tick, the location.path() value becomes the current URL.

Have been told that this change arrived within the last few RCs.

Expected/desired behavior

Expect location.path() to become the new URL at least by ngOnInit. By that time, the navigation is complete and all components should be in the DOM.
