pythongh-99203: shutil.make_archive(): restore select CPython <= 3.10.5 behavior

Restore following CPython <= 3.10.5 behavior of `shutil.make_archive()`
that went away as part of pythongh-93160:

Do not create an empty archive if `root_dir` is not a directory, and, in
that case, raise `FileNotFoundError` or `NotADirectoryError` regardless
of `format` choice. Beyond the brought-back behavior, the function may
now also raise these exceptions in `dry_run` mode.
