Make recursive rmdir more strict

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/iansu/rmdir-recursive-strict into master

This PR changes the behaviour of recursive rmdir (rimraf) in the following ways:

  1. Throws an exception when the path to remove does not exist
  2. Throws an exception when the path to remove points to a file instead of a directory

These changes are based on the discussion in #35171
