When using `D` on top of a non-empty directory in netrw I get an error: 
`**error** (netrw) unable to delete directory {path}`. `D` works as expected on 
an empty directory.

I've tried setting `let g:netrw_localrmdir='rm -rf'` 
(https://gist.github.com/KevinSjoberg/5068370) with the same result. Looking at 
the man page for `:help netrw_localrmdir` it says "This variable is only used 
if your vim is earlier than 7.4"

How can I use `D` to delete non-empty directories in Vim 8+?
