    """Create output directory (allows for force and noclobber).

    :param outdir:  Path, path to output directory
    :param force:  bool, True if an existing directory will be reused
    :param noclobber:  bool, True if existing files are not overwritten

    The intended outcomes are:
    outdir doesn't exist: create outdir
    outdir exists: raise exception
    outdir exists, --force only: remove the directory tree
    outdir exists, --force --noclobber: continue with existing directory tree

    So long as the outdir is created with this function, we need only check
    for args.noclobber elsewhere to see how to proceed when a file exists.
