This subtle bug keeps lurking in because error checking for `Mkdir()`
and `MkdirAll()` is slightly different wrt to `EEXIST`/`IsExist`:

 - for `Mkdir()`, `IsExist` error should (usually) be ignored
   (unless you want to make sure directory was not there before)
   as it means "the destination directory was already there"

 - for `MkdirAll()`, `IsExist` error should NEVER be ignored.

Mostly, this commit just removes ignoring the IsExist error, as it
should not be ignored.

Also, there are a couple of cases then IsExist is handled as
"directory already exist" which is wrong. As a result, some code
that never worked as intended is now removed.

NOTE that `idtools.MkdirAndChown()` behaves like `os.MkdirAll()`
rather than `os.Mkdir()` -- so its description is amended accordingly,
and its usage is handled as such (i.e. IsExist error is not ignored).

For more details, a quote from my runc commit 6f82d4b (July 2015):

    TL;DR: check for IsExist(err) after a failed MkdirAll() is both
    redundant and wrong -- so two reasons to remove it.

    Quoting MkdirAll documentation:

    > MkdirAll creates a directory named path, along with any necessary
    > parents, and returns nil, or else returns an error. If path
    > is already a directory, MkdirAll does nothing and returns nil.

    This means two things:

    1. If a directory to be created already exists, no error is
    returned.

    2. If the error returned is IsExist (EEXIST), it means there exists
    a non-directory with the same name as MkdirAll need to use for
    directory. Example: we want to MkdirAll("a/b"), but file "a"
    (or "a/b") already exists, so MkdirAll fails.

    The above is a theory, based on quoted documentation and my UNIX
    knowledge.

    3. In practice, though, current MkdirAll implementation [1] returns
    ENOTDIR in most of cases described in #2, with the exception when
    there is a race between MkdirAll and someone else creating the
    last component of MkdirAll argument as a file. In this very case
    MkdirAll() will indeed return EEXIST.

    Because of #1, IsExist check after MkdirAll is not needed.

    Because of #2 and moby#3, ignoring IsExist error is just plain wrong,
    as directory we require is not created. It's cleaner to report
    the error now.

    Note this error is all over the tree, I guess due to copy-paste,
    or trying to follow the same usage pattern as for Mkdir(),
    or some not quite correct examples on the Internet.

This mkdir would need to happen after mount.

id := m.ID
if id == "" {
id = stringid.GenerateNonCryptoID()
}
path, err := m.Volume.Mount(id)
_, err := m.Volume.Mount(id)

This needs to use the path returned from Mount as this is provided by the volume driver.
There is no guarantee that mp.Source is populated here.

I'm extreemly interested in this (actually mounting named volumes with sub-directories) but I have no clue how to use the moby project. Can someone sot some light into this?
