move/copy file - add "create folder" capability #11727

Description

@fermulator

Steps to reproduce and actual behaviour

  1. From some user's home directory (i.e. "AutoUploads/Camera"), select some photos to be filed/organized.
    0_nextcloud_movecopy

  2. Choose "Actions...", "Move or copy"
    1_nextcloud_movecopy

  3. Browse/traverse into the target destination (in my case this is an external SMB mount for which I do have write access to)
    2_nextcloud_movecopy

  4. When user arrives into destination, there is no way to create a new sub-directory during this activity. Which means they have to go BACK (or open new tab), browse into that target, create directory, then go back to move/copy dialogue, refresh, then choose that one :(

Expected behaviour

Here's my proposal:
3_nextcloud_movecopy_new_folder

    GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #7629 (Create Folders when moving files), #4149 (Moveing file/folder selection), #11369 (Feature request Create a copy of the file in the same folder), #898 (Move files to specific folder), and #7093 (Add element color to theming capabilities).

    Thanks gitmate! - I didn't find this in my manual search, -- but #7629 definitely covers the spirit of this request, and makes this issue submission a duplicate.
