[issue10948] Trouble with dir_util created dir cache

“This is not an implementation detail, it is part of the way the function works.  The user should be aware of the behavior when [they] call this function twice.”

I would agree if mkpath were a public function.  I think it’s an implementation detail used by other distutils code, especially commands.  Considering that dir_util is gone in distutils2, I see no benefit in editing the doc.
