fix(s3): list empty directories as directory markers (#9615)

* fix(s3): list empty directories as directory markers

A real but empty directory created out of band (mount, mkdir, filer API)
carries no MIME, so it was hidden from S3 listings. hadoop-aws getFileStatus
probes LIST prefix=dir/ &delimiter=/ and reads an empty result as a missing
path, which breaks Spark's eventLog.dir when it points at an empty directory.

Surface such directories as directory markers, matching directories created
via PutObject with a trailing "/". Emptiness comes from the recursion result,
and the marker MIME is set only on the in-memory listing entry, so empty
directories stay eligible for empty-folder cleanup.

* fix(s3): only surface empty directory markers for explicit dir probes

Restrict the empty-directory marker to a trailing-slash prefix probe
(prefix=dir/), the pattern hadoop-aws getFileStatus uses. Plain listings
are left as before, so an empty directory left behind by deleted objects
(e.g. after lifecycle expiration) is no longer shown as a phantom key.
