Fix out-of-bounds memory accesses with virtual_root=""
The CGit configuration variable virtual_root is normalized so that it does not have a trailing '/' character, but it is allowed to be empty (the empty string and NULL have different meanings here) and there is code that is insufficiently cautious when checking if it ends in a '/': if (virtual_root[strlen(virtual_root) - 1] != '/') Clearly this check is redundant, but rather than simply removing it we get a slight efficiency improvement by switching the normalization so that the virtual_root variable always ends in '/'. Do this with a new "ensure_end" helper. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>
