[PATCH v2 6/9] longest_ancestor_length(): always add a slash to the end of prefixes

Previously we stripped off any slashes that were present. Instead, add a slash if it is missing. This removes the need for an extra check that path has a slash following the prefix and makes the handling of the root directory more natural, making the way clear to use string_list_longest_prefix().
