Fix BLI_path_parent_dir returning success with a single period as input

While relatively harmless, BLI_path_parent_dir wasn't returning failure
when passed in "./" which wouldn't succeed.

Instead of adding a ".." and normalizing, normalize the path and remove
the last directly. This is simpler than inspecting the resulting path
to see if normalize removed it or not.

Add additional tests which failed previously.
