Get the file name part of a path.
!!! note
This function differs slightly from the Unix `basename` program, where trailing slashes are ignored,
i.e. `\$ basename /foo/bar/` returns `bar`, whereas `basename` in Julia returns an empty string `""`.
# Examples
```jldoctest
julia> basename("/home/myuser/example.jl")
"example.jl"
julia> basename("/home/myuser/")
""
```
