This patch fixes a bug in how 'load_external_function' handles
'$libdir/ prefixes in module paths.
Previously, 'load_external_function' would unconditionally strip
'$libdir/' from the beginning of the 'filename' string. This caused
an issue when the path was nested, such as "$libdir/nested/my_lib".
Stripping the prefix resulted in a path of "nested/my_lib", which
would fail to be found by the expand_dynamic_library_name function
because the original '$libdir' macro was removed.
To fix this, the code now checks for the presence of an additional
directory separator ('/' or '\') after the '$libdir/' prefix. The
prefix is only stripped if the remaining string does not contain a
separator. This ensures that simple filenames like '"$libdir/my_lib"'
are correctly handled, while nested paths are left intact for
'expand_dynamic_library_name' to process correctly.
