[Bug faq/1395] New: canonicalize_file_name documentation typos

["oskar at osk dot mine dot nu" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

There's a small typo in the texinfo documentation for
canonicalize_file_name. Perhaps there's also an incorrect
statement which indirectly says that it is OK for the last path
component to be missing. I don't think this is true.
The comment for realpath in stdlib/canonicalize.c also states
"All path components must exist".
