crypto/hd: make DerivePrivateKeyForPath error and not panic on traili…

…ng slashes (#8607)

Detected during my audit, right before fuzzing, the code that
checked for presence of hyphens per path segment assumed that
the part would always be non-empty. However, with paths such as:
* m/4/
* /44/
* m/4///

it'd panic with a runtime slice out of bounds.

With this new change, we now:
* firstly strip the right trailing slash
* on finding any empty segments of a path return an error

Fixes #8557
