Description
When excluding generation of supporting files and all files in that directory are excluded the directory is still created, resulting in a worthless empty directory.
Describe the solution you'd like
The directory for a supporting file is only created if a file is written there.
Additional context
The relevant code is here: https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/DefaultGenerator.java#L697
Where you can see the directory is created then there is a check whether to skip the file.

Research direction
Start by reading modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/DefaultGenerator.java around line 697. Trace the supporting-file directory creation and the subsequent skip check. Done means the directory is created only when a supporting file is written, while fully excluded directories are not left behind.
