PATH_PATTERN allows empty paths. isValidPath() allows a trailing slash.
TestPairs updated to reflect changes.

I've been following this bug after trying to use the URL validator and noticing
that it is unusably strict. I finally decided to submit a patch since allowing
URLs of the form "http://www.google.com", "http://www.google.com/", and
"http://www.google.com/apis/" is necessary. They are almost universally
accepted as proper URLs. 

As far as <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt">RFC2396</a> is
concerned, Part 1.3 shows a trailing slash as being acceptable. 

I have obsoleted Tim Reilly's patches since this patch accomplishes the same
and more. In addition, there have since been changes made in the code that
conflict with his older patch.
