#8385: Usability bug: Trainling slash in server name screws up custom ports for

I stumbled over the following problem:
When trying to open an sftp connection to server "myserver.example.com/"
and port "33333" in the "Open Connection" panel, Cyberduck wrongly infers
that the URL for the server is
sftp://username@myserver.example.com/:33333/
I know the server name should't have the trailing slash in the first
place, so one could blame the user. But I think this should be considered
as a usability bug anyway. Adding a trailing slash can happen quickly and
the result is unexpected.
Suggested behavior:
- Since DNS names are not allowed to contain a forward slash, the trailing
slash could be silently ignored (or even removed) by Cyberduck
- Alternative: warn the user that no trailing slash should be used (I
prefer the previous behavior)
