Teach code:del_path/1 to ignore superfluous slashes

The following sequence will NOT leave the code path unchanged:

  code:add_path("/some/app/"),
  .
  .
  .
  code:del_path("/some/app/")

The reason is that code:add_path/1 will normalize the path name
(removing the trailing slash), while code:del_path/1 does not
normalize the path before searching for it in the code path.
