RFR: 8246451: Reduce overhead of normalizing file paths with trailing slash

[Claes Redestad]

Hi,

I'd like to fix a bug in the microbenchmark I pushed for JDK-8246338
where the FileOpen.trailingSlash variant doesn't do what it intends to.

There's also a profitable low-hanging optimization down that path to
substring rather than take the detour via StringBuilder[1]

Bug:    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246451
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8246451/open.00/

Testing: tier1

Thanks!
