[Backport release-0.9] fix(fs): make normalize() work with '/' path (#24060)

fix(fs): make `normalize()` work with '/' path

Problem: Current implementation of "remove trailing /" doesn't
account for the case of literal '/' as path.
Solution: Remove trailing / only if it preceded by something else.

(cherry picked from commit 80ff66118a)
