[PATCH] alsactl: Try to create state file directory

[Dan Nicholson <nicholson@endlessm.com>]

Try to create the directory for the state file when saving so we don't
depend on it being created ahead of time. This only checks for failures
on existing directories and doesn't try to create the leading
directories or workaround any other errors. This should catch the common
case where /var/lib exists, but /var/lib/alsa doesn't.
