Log:
Ignore trailing slashes in pathnames that "refer to a directory",
as is required to be POSIXLY_CORRECT and "right". I interpret
"referring to a directory" as being a directory or becoming a
directory. E.g., the trailing slashes in mkdir("/nonesuch/"),
rename("/tmp", /nonesuch/") and link("/tmp", "/root_can_like_dirs/")
are ignored because the target will become a directory if the
syscall succeeds. A trailing slash on a symlink causes the symlink
to be followed (this is a bug if the symlink doesn't point to a
directory; fix later).
