T
ed 0d51c3541d fix(twitter_threads): strip trailing slashes from --media-dir and --output 
Path objects with trailing separators (e.g. './media/') intermittently
failed to glob on Windows after download_media.py had just finished
writing the directory. Normalize via rstrip('/\\\\') before Path()
re-wrapping so the CLI is forgiving regardless of OS path quirks.

Repro: gallery-dl ran + immediate render with trailing slash on the
just-created media/ dir -> glob returned nothing -> markdown emitted
no ![Media N] lines. Removing the trailing slash fixed it; this makes
both work.
