Ensure a file can be replaced by a directory

This addresses FS#24904. In a normal upgrade case, this replacement
seems to work just fine. However, when doing a sync "replace" type
upgrade, we weren't properly handling this edge case due to path
comparison not ignoring trailing slashes. Fix this by pruning any
trailing slashes past a certain point of file conflict resolution where
we no longer need them, which allows us to safely detect cases such as
now tested in the new pactest.
