fix: add HTTP middleware to redirect trailing slash URLs to canonical form (#420)

Resolves #419 where URLs with trailing slashes like `/v0/servers/` would
return empty responses instead of proper data.

**Changes**:
- Added TrailingSlashMiddleware that redirects trailing slash URLs with
301 status
- Preserves root path ('/') without redirecting
- Uses HTTP 301 Moved Permanently to indicate canonical form
- Added comprehensive test coverage for the middleware

This follows REST API best practices and is consistent with how major Go
web frameworks handle trailing slash normalization.
