preserve paths with imagemin-cli

[Pomax]

Using imagemin images/**/*.png --out-dir=dist/images does not preserve the fairly crucial dir structure, dropping every image in the output dir, irrespective of what the glob ** matched. This means that things go very wrong when using, for instance:

+ images
   |  |
   |  + icon.png
   |
   + users
   |  |
   |  + icon.png
   | 
   + groups
      |
      + icon.png

Can imagemin-cli (and imagemin?) be update to preserve the subpath for images so that they get written to the output dir with the same dir structure as they were consumed?

@sindresorhus any chance to get this in? Especially with about a million weekly downloads, it seems weird to leave this bug in (because anything that can destructively overwrite files is def. not a feature).

I am also unable to use the tool for this exact reason. Could this be bumped up please?

Is this solved by #353 ? IF so, can it be merged and a new version released please?
