Description

Right now directories show up the same as generic files, they should instead have a folder icon and the name should end in a forward slash.

Research direction
Look at the dir index html package within the kubo repository. The current implementation likely uses a Go template or static HTML to render directory listings. Identify the template file (e.g., index.html in the dir index html directory) and modify it to add a folder icon (e.g., using an emoji or CSS class) and append a forward slash to directory names. Ensure the change is consistent with the existing code style and does not break other elements.
