When not specified, calling wp_upload_dir() will result in WP's default
year/month directories being created. This can result in a large number
of unneeded empty directories.
The call to wp_upload_dir() in BP_Docs_Attachments::get_htaccess_path()
specifies $create_dir=true because it's only called in the context where
the .htaccess file is being created or deleted, not on normal pageloads.
