Description

When the master's --work_dir is specified but does not exist on the filesystem, the master will crash as follows:

F0627 01:45:09.701522 1979613968 replica.cpp:721] CHECK_SOME(state): IO error: ~/work_dir/replicated_log/LOCK: No such file or directoryFailed to recover the log

The master should at the very least exit nicely, or even better create the work directory if it does not exist.
