RPM has only path and directory dependencies, largely because the path
canonicalization in rpmCleanPath() always strips a trailing '/' character.
Luckily, the (arguably hacky) fix is not very complicated.
1) always over allocate paths by 1 byte to accomodate a trailing '/' (if
necessary.
2) Copy the trailing character of the input argument to rpmCleanPath() to the
return value when it's a trailing '/'
The above heuristic starts to propagate a hint to the expected file type
throughout rpm, thereby diffentiating dir/file dependencies with stricter tests
for, say, %ghost marked paths.
