lib: fix handling of one character long directory names at top level

Browse source 
The code to skip multiple slashes in _notmuch_database_split_path()
skips back one character too much. This is compensated by a +1 in the
length parameter to the strndup() call. Mostly this works fine, but if
the path is to a file under a top level directory with one character
long name, the directory part is mistaken to be part of the file name
(slash == path in code). The returned directory name will be the empty
string and the basename will be the full path, breaking the indexing
logic in notmuch new.

Fix the multiple slash skipping to keep the slash variable pointing at
the last slash, and adjust strndup() accordingly.
