Does this look okay to apply?  The fix in path.cc affects more than just
link, hence I had to add a new option to keep mkdir("d/",mode) still
working, while link("file","d/") now fails with the same ENOENT as Linux.
 rename was tricky, as rename("file","d/") must fail whether or not d
exists, while rename("dir","d/") must succeed if d does not exist or
exists and is empty.  I think I got it all, but it can't hurt to
double-check things.

	* path.h (PC_MKDIR): New enum value.
	* path.cc (check): Ensure 'a/' resolves to a directory.
	* syscalls.cc (link): Fix comment.
	(rename): Use correct errno for trailing '.'.  Allow trailing
	slash to newpath iff oldpath is directory.
	* dir.cc (mkdir): Allow trailing slash.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
