`path.Split` splits `PATH` immediately following the final slash, separating it into a directory and a base component.
The returned values have the property that `PATH` = `DIR`+`BASE`.
If there is no slash in `PATH`, it returns an empty directory and the base is set to `PATH`.
**Note:** On Windows, `PATH` is converted to slash (`/`) separators.
```
{{ path.Split "a/news.html" }} → "a/", "news.html"
{{ path.Split "news.html" }} → "", "news.html"
{{ path.Split "a/b/c" }} → "a/b/", "c"
```
