If the last component of the directory name is a symlink followed by a slash, rmdir now fails, following Linux but not POSIX, even if the symlink resolves to an existing empty directory. mkdir was similarly changed in 2009 in commit 52dba6a5c45e8d8ba1e237a15213311dc11d91fb. Modify a comment to clarify the purpose of that commit. Addresses https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-09/msg00221.html.
