Subject: [PATCH] cmake-gui: fix receiving directory path from file dialogs

System file dialogs might return directory path with trailing slash,
which is a problem for source path, because then the ${sourceDirName} in
presets evaluates to empty string. Resolve that by stripping the
trailing slashes from source and binary dirs.
