--remote-time (-R) doesn't work with --output-dir

[hgdagon]

I did this

curl --create-dirs -JRO --output-dir "some/path/" "https://someurl.com/somefile/download"

I expected the following

The file to be created at some/path with the remote timestamp set

Just to help anyone else searching: this is actually only when --remote-header-name is also included.

The error I was getting was:

Warning: Failed to set filetime 1571296705 on 'foo.iso': No such file or 
Warning: directory

If you only used the two options in this issue title, it worked fine. It was the combination of all three that caused the issue (--remote-header-name, --remote-time and --output-dir).

It was fixed in curl 8.6.0 (thanks!).
