MAKEDIR make dtory and check for success

malformed paths can be "created" but are not accessible. This function works around that bug in Matlab mkdir().

function makedir(d)

arguments
  d (1,1) string
end

d = stdlib.expanduser(d);

if isfolder(d)
  return
end

mkdir(d);

assert(isfolder(d), "stdlib:makedir:mkdir", "Failed to create %s", d)

end

%!test
%! d = tempname();
%! makedir(d);
