Bug 14993 - rebuild_zebra.pl, when recreating Zebra-directory structure, mkdir
doesn't fail/error/die

This is due to implicit perl programming.
Avoid doing this!
    mkdir $bdir || die "Error $!";

TO REPLICATE:

1. rm -r /home/koha/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb (or whatever your zebradb location
is)
2. run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -x -v
3. Observe how rebuild_zebra.pl tells that it has rebuilt all the missing
   directories.
4. cd /home/koha/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb/biblios
5. No such directory???
6. You wait for several hours to reindex your zebradb to find that nothing
   works :(

AFTER THIS PATCH:

1. rm -r /home/koha/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb (or whatever your zebradb location
is)
2. run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -x -v
3. Observe how rebuild_zebra.pl tells that it couldn't create missing
directories.

A (possibly) better fix would be to recreate the top two directories from the
path, but no point patching a dead horse, since ElasticSearch will be here soon
:)
