What is the issue affecting?

Expected Behaviour

No folder name duplication

Actual Behaviour

If a LS client send a rootUri with a trailing slash the last folder name is duplicated to get the "workspace path".

I already filed a bug for Apache Netbeans (https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7166), but why is LuaLS duplicating the folder's name?

Reproduction steps

see description in https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7166

Research direction

Start at the LuaLS handling of the LSP rootUri and the code that derives the workspace path. Reproduce the trailing-slash case using the Apache NetBeans issue linked in the report; done means a rootUri ending in a slash no longer duplicates the final folder name.
