 Log Message:
 PR/32589: install -d ignores existing non-directories (joerg@netbsd.org)
 
 Raise an error if an argument to 'install -d' exists as a non-directory,
 as suggested by joerg@ (and acked by some developers on #netbsd-code).
 With this change behavior is equal in this respect to FreeBSD and
 DragonFly.
