Named routes with nil params have extra slashes

#1967

Define a named route like this:

map.foo '/foo/:id', :controller => 'test', :action => 'foo', :id => nil

In 2.2.2 the following was true:

foo_url ==> "http://host/foo"
url_for(:controller => 'test', :action => 'foo') ==> "http://host/foo"

Now in 2.3RC1 the behavior has changed:

foo_url ==> "http://host/foo/"
url_for(:controller => 'test', :action => 'foo') ==> "http://host/foo"

The trailing slash seems wrong, and in any case the results of foo_url and url_for should be the same, right?

There should not be a trailing slash by default. I think there is some sort of routing option to configure this though, you may want to check that.

I created a fresh Rails app and it seems to be correct.
```
posts_path: /posts
posts_url: http://localhost:3000/posts
url_for(:controller => "posts"): /posts
```

Related #1753 URLs with trailing slashes behave differently in Edge than in 2.2.2?

I did my test with a fresh app too. You don't show the route you used -- it matters whether you have the nil default value in the route. (:id => nil)
