Support sanitising the URL by removing extra slashes in the URL (#21333) (#23300)

Backport #21333

Changes in this PR :

Strips incoming request URL of additional slashes (/). For example an
input like

`https://git.data.coop//halfd/new-website.git` is translated to
`https://git.data.coop/halfd/new-website.git`

Fixes https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/20462

Fix #23242
