DirView.NewFolder rollback on renaming failure

Description
-----------

When you have a DirView (gb.form) and call its NewFolder method, a new directory is
created under a localised name and then you are immediately dropped into "rename mode"
for that directory. If the renaming fails, you are left with a new directory which
was not renamed. As a user, I click that "Create new folder" button because I want
a new folder of a certain name and not just any new folder. I would have expected the
NewFolder method to roll the creation of the directory back if renaming fails.

After playing a bit, I did discover that F2 can be used to try again to rename the
left-over directory. That may be enough, but I think rolling the creation back in case
of error is less surprising.

Implementation-wise, one could try to postpone the creation of that directory until
the user has specified the desired name.
