Use the function defined in the "common" module.
Move the check for not-nil filename from common.normalize_path
to core.open_doc. In this latter the filename can be nil if a
new unnamed document is created.
It is reported that the built-in lua function os.remove(path) does
not removes empty directories on windows. To fix this a system.rmdir
function is introduced that calls a native win32 function.
Also common.rm(path, recursively) was added which wraps system.rmdir()
to easily delete an entire folder with all its contents.
Move the function mkdirp into common to be generally available.
Use the new common.mkdirp from create_user_directory() from
core/init.lua replacing previous parent directory creation code
within the function.
The previous mkdirp function did not work on Windows where
absolute paths starts with a drive letter. The code from
create_user_directory() did not have this problem but was wrong
in the way it was creating the nested directories.
The new implementation in common.mkdirp fix both problems.
