Summary: Allegro netlist should test for and create devfile directory

Initial Comment:
The allegro backend for gnetlist writes both an output netlist and a series of device files in the directory ./devfiles.  If the devfiles directory does not exist then gnetlist aborts with an obtuse error that doesn't make it clear what the problem is.  

On first attempting to netlist to allegro format I figured there was something wrong with my netlist, the backend, the attributes I had used on symbols, and more.  It was only after reading the scheme source that I understood that the fix was as simple as 'mkdir devfiles'.  

I cannot program in guile but the fix is to add a test for the existence and write permissions for the directory devfiles and to create it if it doesn't exist.
