mkdir.m: Don't return status when no output requested (bug #57799).

* mkdir.m: Call subfunction mkdir_recur, but store the status result in
temporary variable "sts".  If no outputs are requested (nargout == 0)
then check "sts" and issue an error if operation failed.  If output
requested then assign output "status" the value of "sts".
