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.
