Add an empty option

I need to make a directory and I need to always have it empty. It will almost never exist, so I don’t want to run rimraf each time before making the directory. That’s a redundant fs operation.

Instead, could makeDir have an empty option? If empty is true, then an exception is thrown here:

https://github.com/sindresorhus/make-dir/blob/6d029fe1f75f1a02fcdd7a67f34eadf0941a424f/index.js#L90-L93

Or alternatively, some option that doesn’t silence the EEXIST exceptions. Like opts.throwOnExists

A third possible solution could be that makeDir returns something that tells us if the directory already existed. Like it could return { alreadyExisted: true }

Side note: this can be done with dir in fs-jetpack

I guess I will create a new package for this. This one is not that useful anymore, as NodeJS supports recursive mkdir natively
