bug#44186: Recursive mkdir

[divoplade]

Dear guile,

I have slightly modified the mkdir function so that it takes a third
argument to try to create the intermediate directories when calling
mkdir, in effect acting as "mkdir -p".

However, I could not make the test suite run the ports test, on which I
added the test for the new behavior. Is it expected? How do I run it?

In the mean time, here is the WIP version of the patch.

Best regards,

divoplade
