ensure: always write vendor even if not empty

If the vendor directory already exists, and the lock file hasn't
changed, even though a project may be missing from the vendor
directory, dep ensure would not add the dependency to the vendor
folder.

If the project is in the vendor folder, but it has been modified
(no longer in sync with lock file), ensure would not replace the
dependency in the vendor folder.

This change causes dep ensure to run anytime there's a solution,
regardless of the state vendor folder is in, erring on the side
of replacing vendor without checking existing state which is the
most correct behaviour given the ensure intention.

Future optimisations may want to check and verify the contents of
the vendor folder before blinding replacing it.
