// cleanPath is the URL version of path.Clean, it returns a canonical URL path
// for p, eliminating . and .. elements.
//
// The following rules are applied iteratively until no further processing can
// be done:
//	1. Replace multiple slashes with a single slash.
//	2. Eliminate each . path name element (the current directory).
//	3. Eliminate each inner .. path name element (the parent directory)
//	   along with the non-.. element that precedes it.
//	4. Eliminate .. elements that begin a rooted path:
//	   that is, replace "/.." by "/" at the beginning of a path.
//
// If the result of this process is an empty string, "/" is returned.
