scmutil: create directories in a race-safe way during update
With the new parallel update code, it is possible for multiple
workers to try to create a hierarchy of directories at the same
time. This is hard to trigger in general, but most likely during
initial checkout.
To deal with these races, we introduce a new ensuredirs function
whose contract is to ensure that a directory hierarchy exists - it
will ignore a failure that implies that the desired directory already
exists.
