`createDirectories` overloads

== Synopses

Declared in `<bdls_filesystemutil.h>`

Create any directories in the specified `path` that do not exist. If the optionally specified `isLeafDirectoryFlag` is `true`, treat the final name component in `path` as a directory name, and create it. Otherwise, create only the directories leading up to the final name component. Return 0 on success, `k_ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND` if a component used as a directory in `path` exists but is not a directory, and a negative value for any other kind of error. The parameterized `STRING_TYPE` must be one of `bsl::string`, `std::string`, `std::pmr::string` (if supported), `bsl::string_view`, or `bslstl::StringRef`.
