fs: add option mkdirp to fs.writeFile[Sync], fs.appendFile[Sync]

... and new function fs.openWithMkdirp[Sync]
this feature is intended to improve ergonomics/simplify-scripting when:
- creating build-artifacts/coverage-files during ci
- scaffolding new web-projects
- cloning website with web-crawler

allowing user to lazily create ad-hoc directory-structures as need
during file-creation with ergonomic syntax:
```
fs.writeFileSync(
    "foo/bar/baz/qux.txt",
    "hello world!",
    { mkdirp: true } // will "mkdir -p" foo/bar/baz as needed
);
```

Fixes: #33559
