XML sitemaps omit trailing slashes

[jonoaldersonwp]

Various XML sitemaps on wordpress.org contain references to top-level pages, which incorrectly omit a trailing slash.

E.g., the XML sitemap at ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/sitemap-1.xml contains a reference to https://wordpress.org/plugins. This should be https://wordpress.org/plugins/.

The same issue exists for themes (​https://wordpress.org/themes/sitemap-1.xml) and news (​https://wordpress.org/news/sitemap-1.xml)

Is this related to ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50570? Seems curious that didn't fix it.

Looks like we're relying upon Jetpack sitemaps, which overrides the core behaviour, and has this bug too.

We should probably switch to the core one, and this should also be filed upstream with Jetpack as we're not in a position to fix this specifically on W.org.

The core sitemaps aren't suitable for wp.org (without the same kinds of - and far more - modification than we're already applying to the Jetpack ones). Awesome if we can get this fixed in Jetpack, though!

Upstream PR was merged, this will be fixed on WordPress.org with the next Jetpack update.
