[pve-devel] [PATCH manager v2] pveproxy: create log directory when starting

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

We only create this directory while installing or upgrading the package.

If a user deletes /var/log then they will lose access to the web UI
until they either reinstall or upgrade pve-manager.

Differences from v1:

- Unconditionally call mkdir+chown if root
- Improve commit message to reflect this can be fixed by a reinstall
