The function is given a string that ends with a slash to signal that
the path is a directory to make sure that a pattern that ends with a
slash (i.e. MUSTBEDIR) can tell directories and non-directories
apart.  However, the pattern itself (pat->pattern and
pat->patternlen) that came from such a MUSTBEDIR pattern is
represented as a string that ends with a slash, but patternlen does
not count that trailing slash. A MUSTBEDIR pattern "element/" is
represented as a counted string <"element/", 7> and this must match
match pathname "element/".

Because match_basename() and match_pathname() want to see pathname
"element" to match against the pattern <"element/", 7>, reduce the
length of the path to exclude the trailing slash when calling
these functions.
