Slash is not removed for squash:true when optional param terminates the url

[JakobJingleheimer]

In @christopherthielen's plunkr example from #1501, :username's slash is not removed when it is squashed. The documented behaviour for squash: true is that the optional parameter plus a slash are removed.

Reprod:

1. Open the plunkr
2. Click on the purple user({username: 'christopherthielen'}) button.

Observed output: /user/
Expect output: /user

The parameter's default value is omitted from the URL. If the parameter is preceeded and followed by slashes in the state's url declaration, then one of those slashes are omitted.

I think what you're seeing is correct behavior. According to the docs, only one of two slashes is omitted.

Is it hard to make a setting to clean/trim the end of the URL with squashed params? It's frustrating when all your URLs are consistent with no trailing slash and then you hit one url with a trailing slash because it has a squashed parameter.

@christopherthielen in my reprod steps, none are removed:

false: '/user/christopherthielen',
// …
true: '/user/'

the slash preceding christopherthielen is not removed. It should be.

bump.

Is anyone looking into this? If not, could someone point me to where this is in the code base and I'll take a stab at it.
