std.fs.dir.makePath silently failed if one of the items in the path already exists. For example:
cwd.makePath("foo/bar/baz")
Silently failing is OK if "bar" is already a directory - this is the intended use of makePath (like mkdir -p). But if bar is a file then the subdirectory baz cannot be created - the end result is that makePath doesn't do anything which should be a detectable error because baz is never created.
The existing code had a TODO comment that did not specifically cover this error, but the solution for this silent failure also accomplishes the TODO task - the code now stats "foo" and returns an appropriate error. The new code also handles potential race condition if "bar" is deleted/permissions changed/etc in between the initial makeDir and statFile calls.
