Johannes Schindelin b824fc9cef Introduce the function strip_path_suffix() ...

The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from
a given path.  The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core"
is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is).

Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical.

Example:

	prefix = strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core",
			"libexec///git-core");

will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit".
