Public bug reported:

While upgrading demo.mahara.org from 1.6.4 to 1.7.0, I found the upgrade
script errored out repeatedly, because in artefact/file/db/upgrade.php,
in the section for version 2012092400, it tried to create a new
directory "artefact/file/originals" under the dataroot. But, the base
"artefact" directory itself didn't exist in my dataroot, and mkdir()
defaults to NOT creating intermediate directories.

So, I changed mkdir to create the intermediate directories, and then the
installation went through okay.

I'm not sure whether this is a problem other people might encounter, or
whether it's due to the peculiarities of demo.mahara.org (which is reset
by a script on a daily basis). But it wouldn't hurt to add it.
