doc: Ensure intermediate path creation with mkdir

The mkdir command in the Installation from Source Short Version docs
didn't use the -p intermediate path creation parameter which likely
would cause the command to fail.  At the time of writing, -p wasn't
universally available but it can now be relied upon existing. The -p
parameter is defined by POSIX, at least since posix-2004.
