Proposed changes

After migrating from VyOS version 1.3.x to 1.4.0, the presence of a trailing slash ("/") at the end of the user's home directory path breaks the login process. This issue affects both login/password authentication and SSH key-based access, making it impossible for users to log in to VyOS instances.
To resolve this issue, I propose allowing the use of a trailing slash ("/") in the home directory path. This change will ensure that users do not encounter login problems after future migrations.

Examples of Allowed Paths:

• With Trailing Slash: /home/test/
• Without Trailing Slash: /home/test

Examples of Disallowed Paths:

• //home/test/ (contains double slashes)
• /home//test (contains double slashes)
• home/test/ (does not start with a slash)
