lib/open: refactor call to mkdir into function

This makes the error handling available for re-use. Using
g_mkdir_with_parents also handles the case of a pre-existing
directory. This introduces new functionality, namely creating the
parent directories, which will be useful for creating directories like
'.local/share/notmuch/default'.
