Fix mouse clicks on directory line in Dired

The option 'dired-kill-when-opening-new-dired-buffer' should be
also honored when clicking the mouse to kill prev buffer.
* lisp/dired.el (dired--make-directory-clickable): Call
'dired--find-possibly-alternative-file' instead of 'dired', in
the click callback.  (Bug#67856)
