fix(buffer): keep trailing slash significant in URI names #41577

Problem:
Literal path comparison ignored one trailing slash for every buffer name,
including URIs. Generic URI syntax does not make a non-empty path
equivalent to the same path with a trailing slash, so distinct URI
buffers collapsed into one.

Solution:
Require equal lengths when comparing URI buffer names, while retaining
trailing-separator normalization for filesystem paths.
