ServiceStack self-host workaround for VirtualPathUtility exception.

Hey Aaron,
Thx for this info, it turns out this was the cause of Razor not working too well on Mono/HttpListener, so I've now baked it in to v3.9.48.
I pre-populate this info by default on HttpListenerBase.SetAppDomainData which can also be overridden if anyone doesn't like this default behavior.
