CsvCompound fails to create directories

[bondjimbond]

If your output directory doesn't exist, checkconfig all will tell you "The path /Path/To/Target/(defined in configuration setting output_directory) does not exist but will be created for you."

This is not true. If you run MIK, you get errors:

ErrorException.ERROR: ErrorException {"message":"mkdir(): No such file or directory","code":{"metadata":"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<mods xmlns=\"http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3\" xmlns:mods=\"http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\">\n  <titleInfo>\n    <title>Anthony McNab Favel Performance Art Cabaret</title>\n  </titleInfo>\n  <abstract>Anthony McNab Favel's piece in the Performance Art Cabaret.</abstract>\n  <identifier type=\"local\">1999.1001 PER</identifier>\n  <subject>\n    <geographic>The Vogue Theatre, Vancouver, BC</geographic>\n  </subject>\n  <subject>\n    <topic>Cree First Nations Arts and Culture</topic>\n  </subject>\n  <subject>\n    <topic>Drumming</topic>\n  </subject>\n  <subject>\n    <topic>Vocal Music</topic>\n  </subject>\n  <subject>\n    <topic>Cabaret</topic>\n  </subject>\n  <subject>\n    <topic>Performance Art</topic>\n  </subject>\n  <name type=\"personal\">\n    <namePart type=\"given\">Anthony</namePart>\n      <namePart type=\"family\">McNab Favel</namePart>\n        <role>\n    <roleTerm authority=\"marcrelator\">Performer</roleTerm>\n  </role>\n  \n   \n</name>\n  <physicalDescription>\n\t\t\t\t\t</physicalDescription>\n  <originInfo>\n    \t<dateIssued keyDate=\"yes\">1999-10-01</dateIssued>\n    \t<publisher>grunt gallery</publisher>\n    \t</originInfo>\n  <genre authority=\"aat\">music</genre>\n  <accessCondition type=\"use and reproduction\">Copyright grunt gallery 2020.

This is because the target directory doesn't exist, and MIK fails to bother creating it.

A mkdir in the writer, just like the other writers, should fix it.

Side note: there are so many repeated tasks in the writers, as well as fetchers, etc. Should we not turn these into global functions so that they can be referenced, used, and updated as needed without this kind of inconsistency?

@bondjimbond the place for these shared functions is in the Writer abstract class, https://github.com/MarcusBarnes/mik/blob/master/src/writers/Writer.php.
