install -d should bomb out if any args are regular files

This should bomb out right away,
$ install -d /var/lib/dpkg/status /tmp/var/lib/dpkg/status
install: `/var/lib/dpkg/status' exists but is not a directory

instead of still creating /tmp/var/lib/dpkg/status.

Also the documentation is not clear about what if any of the arguments
already exist.
