[Bug 2122363] [NEW] cp -T: prefix not found

[Dan Bungert]

Public bug reported:

with rust-coreutils, -T fails to behave like gnucp when using it to copy
a source directory to a target location and that location doesn't exist
yet.

```
#!/bin/bash
set -eux

rm -fr src dst

mkdir src
touch src/file.txt

/usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/cp -aT src dst

[ -f dst/file.txt ]
```

Workarounds:
* remove -T from the cp invocation
* also mkdir dst before the cp invocation

** Affects: rust-coreutils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
