[YARN-253] Container launch may fail if no files were localized

• Type: Bug

Description

This can be demonstrated with DistributedShell. The containers running the shell do not have any files to localize (if there is no shell script to copy) so if they run on a different NM to the AM (which does localize files), then they will fail since the appcache directory does not exist.
