rm: avoid bogus diagnostic for a slash-decorated symlink-to-dir
These commands would evoke an invalid diagnostic: $ mkdir d && ln -s d s && env rm -r s/ rm: cannot remove 's': Too many levels of symbolic links remove.c was stripping trailing slashes from "s/" before passing the name to "rm". But a trailing slash may change the semantics, and thus should not be stripped. * src/remove.c (rm_fts): Do not strip trailing slashes. * tests/rm/v-slash.sh: Adapt to new expected output. * gnulib: Update to latest, for an improved fts.c that merely normalizes trailing slashes. Reported by Paul Eggert in discussion of http://bugs.gnu.org/12339
