Otherwise programs that try to use the home directory will get permission denied errors.

Such as osrf/car_demo#56

It looks like mkhomedir_helper might be available widely enough.

Create a home diretory if one does not exist for the user
62c7c7e 
This will avoid many errors.
It will not try if the user's home directory is to be mounted by the home extension.
The tool will also not touch any preexisting directory so if it's mounted any other way it should be safe too.

Fixes #42
