Missing '/' at the end of relative_path for Pulp 3 yum repos causes 404s on clients
Description
I installed the Pulp 3 rpm plugin on my Katello server and configured apache to serve the Pulp 3 yum content. I then attached an el8 client and tried to install rpms. I got 404s and realized that my repository's base url was missing a trailing slash, which Pulp 3 seems to require.
To remedy this, I use subscription-manager repo-override to add in the trailing slash. However, I noticed that my bound_repositories list wasn't being updated for the host. In update_repositories_by_paths(paths), the bindable_path for my repo had the trailing slash, but the query to find a matching Katello repo returned nothing since the repo's relative_path did not have the trailing slash: https://github.com/Katello/katello/blob/master/app/models/katello/host/content_facet.rb#L62
The root of the issue is the missing trailing slash in the relative_paths. The fix might not be so simple as just adding the trailing slash. We should check if Red Hat repositories are affected. It is likely that they are.

Rejecting since the issue was not the trailing slash after all but the lack of https configuration for Pulp 3.
