docsify: URLs 404 when given a trailing slash /

This is is annoying for sure. We need to handle trailing slashes properly.

Additionally, we have high-level things to improve in Docsify:

• first of all, we should not have two totally separate renderers for client vs SSR (duplicated logic, error prone keeping changes in sync)
• we should not have duplicate logic across our two routers (also error prone keeping changes in sync, leading to inconsistency)

I think we can default to README.md by matter of the existing conventions, and we can also fall back to index.md if README.md is not found. Thoughts? *#!/*JoePea

In GitHub Pages, isn’t README.md is the index.html or default.html behavior? I mean it would make more sense to have a README.md as a convention.

Whoa, I’m two years late to the party, but has this been resolved at all? It’d be terrific if example.org/hello/README was just the same as example.org/hello

I have not started work on this. Will give it a crack over the weekend. Help is welcome should anyone else find they have the time.
