llstat: modify path in place
This makes llstat's signature differ from lstat's, but we never actually use it on a const string and this saves a large number of strdup's. This also allows stripping multiple trailing slashes and corrects a bug where calling llstat on "/" would result in calling lstat on an empty string.
