bug#15376: install-sh -t accepts arguments that are not a directory

Hi automake maintainers,

the -t parameter of install-sh is supposed to accept a target directory.
If it is given a file or a name of a non-existent file/directory, the
source is copied into this file. For example, if I have a file foo and do

install-sh -t foo2 foo

I will have the two files foo and foo2. install-sh should abort whenever
the argument of the -t option is not a directory, just like install
does. Attached is a patch that fixes the issue.

Best regards,
Tobias Hansen
