Fix concurrent creation of fan-out object directories

If multiple threads attempted to insert loose objects into the same new
fan-out directory, the creation of that directory was subject to a race
condition that could lead to an unnecessary IOException being thrown -
because an inserter could not 'create' a directory that had just been
generated by a different thread. All we require is that the directory
does indeed *exist*, so not being able to _create_ it is not actually a
fatal problem. Setting 'skipExisting' to 'true' on the call to mkdir()
fixes the issue.

I found this issue as a real world occurrence while working on The BFG
Repo Cleaner (https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner), a tool which
concurrently performs a lot of object creation.

In order to demonstrate the problem here I've added a small test case
which reliably reproduces the issue on the few different hardware
systems I've tried. The error thrown when the race-condition arises is
this:

java.io.IOException: Creating directory /home/roberto/repo.git/objects/e6 failed
at org.eclipse.jgit.util.FileUtils.mkdir(FileUtils.java:182)
at org.eclipse.jgit.storage.file.ObjectDirectory.insertUnpackedObject(ObjectDirectory.java:590)
at org.eclipse.jgit.storage.file.ObjectDirectoryInserter.insertOneObject(ObjectDirectoryInserter.java:113)
at org.eclipse.jgit.storage.file.ObjectDirectoryInserter.insert(ObjectDirectoryInserter.java:91)
at org.eclipse.jgit.lib.ObjectInserter.insert(ObjectInserter.java:329)
