When compiling gdb with '-lasan -fsanitizer=address' and running tests with:
- export ASAN_OPTIONS="detect_leaks=0:alloc_dealloc_mismatch=0", and
- a target board using local-board.exp, which sets sysroot to ""
we run into a heap-buffer-overflow in child_path for f.i. gdb.arch/amd64-byte:

==3997==ABORTING
...
The direct cause is that child_path gets called with parent == "", so this
test:
...
if (IS_DIR_SEPARATOR (parent[parent_len - 1]))
...
accesses parent[-1].
[ There is an open discussion (1) about whether an empty sysroot should indeed
be represented internally as "". But this patch focuses on fixing the
heap-buffer-overflow without any redesign. ]
Fix this by guarding the test with 'parent_len > 0'.
Note that the fix makes child_path behave the same for:
- parent == "/" && child == "/foo" (returns "foo")
- parent == "" and child == "/foo" (returns "foo").
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.
