Fix some make-directory bugs
* lisp/files.el (files--ensure-directory): New function. (make-directory): Use it to avoid bugs when (make-directory FOO t) is invoked on a non-directory, or on a directory hierarchy that is being built by some other process while Emacs is running. * test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--make-directory): New test.
