age encrypt and age decrypt looked at the -o path only after the
mnemonic had been obtained, so a path that could never be written
still prompted for the mnemonic or ran the mnemonic command. Both now
refuse, before the key is derived, an -o path that is a directory or a
symlink to one, whose directory is missing or is not a directory, or
that is a symlink pointing at nothing. The check creates nothing;
output still looks at the path when it writes, so the file beside the
target is made when it was before. The README names the -o path among
what is checked first.
