+feat(blob): allow folder creation
+
+This allows the creation of empty folders in the blob store. Before this change the SDK would always require a body, which is prohibited by the API. 
+Now the the SDK validates if the operation is a folder creation by checking if the pathname ends with a trailling slash.
+
+```ts
+const blob = await vercelBlob.put('folder/', {
+  access: 'public',
+  addRandomSuffix: false,
+});
+```
