Public bug reported:

One of the causes of Bug 1592236 was that
get_mahara_install_subdirectory() doesn't correctly handle a wwwroot
with a missing trailing slash. If you set your wwwroot to e.g.
"http://www.example.com";, it will return "www.example.com".

This rarely affects anything because fairly early in init.php we rectify
$CFG->wwwroot to add the missing trailing slash if it's missing. But if
we need to call it before that point it can cause subtle problems, so we
may as well fix it.
