Add UI configuration option for stripping trailing slashes from result links

[paulrudy]

I'd like to suggest a Pagefind UI configuration option to strip trailing slashes in Pagefind results.

I understand that this can be done by passing a function to Pagefind's processResult config option as Astro's Starlight does.

But I think it might be useful enough, to enough people, to have as a standalone configuration option.

Or alternatively, it can be an option for the indexer API.

Ha, I've always been a trailing-slash zealot so that bias has certainly crept into Pagefind 😉

This is a good request, though. I think the ideal would be to replace the keep-index-url indexing option with some sort of "URL behavior" option.

e.g. --url-format "trailing-slash" (default) or --url-format "keep-index" or --url-format "strip-trailing-slash"

Thanks for considering it! I know people can have strong opinions/preferences about trailing slashes but once a decision for a site has been made, it's helpful to have consistency either way.

Oh for sure, the worst option is having both available!
