index files do not work on 2.20 if allow_path_info is not set

Hi

while reading through latest Mason::Manual::RequestDispatch and
Mason::Interp::_build_match_request_path to understand trailing slash
handling I found that my installation was Mason-2.19 and latest was 2.20
with the trailing slash change for directories.

So I updated and everything looks broken now. ;-)

As far as I can see an access to a directory with trailing slash
(except / itself) will never match an index.mc until allow_path_info is
set to 1.
This is the only way to get the check  in _build_match_request_path for
index.mc valid, because path_info now is '/' and it is not a dhandler.

This is really bad, what was the reason to do it this way?
Maybe the simplest fix could be a check similar to "is_dhandler" like
is_index to get index files delivered without allow_path_info set.

>From my point of view (is_index and path_info eq '') could lead to a
redirect adding a slash to path if attribute force_directory_slash is
set.
