Yes, the idea is that in Emacs 29, make-directory handlers never are 
passed a non-nil PARENTS flag, and their return values are always 
ignored. That way, Emacs 28 style make-directory handlers should work 
fine in Emacs 29 since only the intersection of the Emacs 28 and 29 
make-directory APIs is used when calling a make-directory handler.

In Emacs 30, once we've updated make-directory handlers to support the 
Emacs 29 make-directory API, we can simplify the code that calls these 
handlers.
