unlink_file: strip trailing slashes
If the user replaces a directory with a symlink, libalpm would get
confused because the trailing slash causes system calls to resolve the
symlink. This leads to errors and a misleading message during upgrades.
Even though libalpm does not support this, it should not be giving
misleading errors.
Also adds an overflow check.
Fixes FS#51377
