do not create cachedir recursively

source
- main.go: Try to ensure directory for given `cachedir` path.
- context.go: Create the default cache directory, `$GOPATH/pkg/dep`, if the
  user did not override it.
- source_manager.go: Use `fs.EnsureDir` instead of `os.MkdirAll` for creating
  sources folder in cache directory.
- fs.go:
  - Add func `EnsureDir` to create a directory if it does not exist.
  - Remove func `IsValidPath`.

test
- integration_test.go: Improve tests for invalid cache directory.
- fs_test.go: Add test for `EnsureDir`, remove test for `IsValidPath`.
- manager_test.go: fix TestSourceManagerInit
  - Re-create cache directory before trying to call `NewSourceManager` the 2nd
    time and defer it's removal.
  - If `NewSourceManager` fails the 2nd time, exit the error using `t.Fatal` to
    avoid panic in `sm.Release`
