packages: Sanitize %load-path used in %patch-path.

2026-05-23T04:36:10+00:00

Having the Guix root trailed by a slash in the GUILE_LOAD_PATH would
previously cause %patch-path to not return an entry with the patches
sub-directory, leading to errors such as:

   While executing meta-command:
   ERROR:
     1. &formatted-message:
         format: "~a: patch not found\n"
         arguments: ("icecat-use-older-reveal-hidden-html.patch")

* gnu/packages.scm (strip-trailing-slash): New procedure.
(%patch-path): Use it to strip any trailing slash from the %load-path entries.
