Returns a new string copied from +self+, with trailing characters possibly removed.

Removes <tt>"\r\n"</tt> if those are the last two characters.

  "abc\r\n".chop      # => "abc"
  "こんにちは\r\n".chop # => "こんにちは"

Otherwise removes the last character if it exists.

  'abcd'.chop     # => "abc"
  'こんにちは'.chop # => "こんにち"
  ''.chop         # => ""

If you only need to remove the newline separator at the end of the string,
String#chomp is a better alternative.
