Summary:                    voicemail directory is not created until user is
left a message
Description: 
eg 1. If for instance, you create a voicemail user, and have them dial in
to set up their account, their spool directory will not yet exist, and they
will be unable to set their greetings. Example solution for this attached.

eg 2. If you do have a message waiting (i.e. stored in IMAP), and your
voicemail directory is missing (for whatever reason), pressing '5' from the
main menu will crash asterisk. backtrace shown in add. info field.

I have tested this, and found that both of these are only affected by using
IMAP storage for voicemail. It seems like this could be fixed more simply
than the patch provided by removing the #ifndef IMAP_STORAGE from arond the
current call to create_dirpath, but I will have to test to be certain that
this is enough.
