lib.filesystem.pathType: Fix for filesystem root argument
Previously this function couldn't handle / being passed, it would throw an error: error: attribute '' missing at nixpkgs/lib/filesystem.nix:24:20: 23| */ 24| pathType = path: (readDir (dirOf path)).${baseNameOf path}; | ^ 25| Consequently this also fixes the lib.filesystem.{pathIsDirectory,pathIsRegularFile} functions.
