feat(cases): create a new case in a custom folder

POST /api/cases takes an optional path; Add Case > Create New gets a 'Create in a
custom folder' option with Browse. The folder is created (or an empty one filled),
scaffolded like a normal case and registered as a linked case. System, home,
credential and Codeman folders are refused; a folder with files is Link Existing's
job; a failure after the first write undoes what this call created. Admin only in
multi-user mode, like Link Existing.

| **Link Existing** | The code is already on disk. Point at the folder, with **Browse** if you would rather click than type. |
