ed music mkdir

ed music mkdir <name> [--under <folder>] [--json]

{
  "name": "Chill",
  "path": "Focus/Chill"
}

ed music mkdir Chill
ed music mkdir Deep --under Focus
ed music mkdir "Late Night" --json

The name is sanitised before use: it is trimmed, and / and : each become -, so a name cannot escape the folder it was asked for. A name that is blank after trimming exits 1 with a name cannot be blank, and a folder that already exists exits 1 with <path> is already there rather than being reused. A --under that does not exist exits 3. On success ed posts musicFolderChanged, so an open Edith picks the new folder up without a rescan.
