devtool: make sure .git/info exists before writing to .git/info/excludes

If nothing else is specified, 'git init' uses its default repository
template from the install location (e.g. /usr/share/git-core/templates),
which already includes an info/ subdirectory. However, when setting
init.templateDir to a different template path in ~/.gitconfig, this
isn't necessarily the case, and it can lead to setup_git_repo() failing
with stack traces like:

    File: '.../scripts/lib/devtool/__init__.py', lineno: 234, function: setup_git_repo
         0230:        pass
         0231:    if 'singletask.lock\n' not in excludes:
         0232:        excludes.append('singletask.lock\n')
         0233:    bb.warn("try writing excludefile")
     *** 0234:    with open(excludefile, 'w') as f:
         0235:        for line in excludes:
         0236:            f.write(line)
         0237:
         0238:    bb.process.run('git checkout -b %s' % devbranch, cwd=repodir)
    Exception: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.../devtooltmp-6m36b181/workdir/foobar-1.0.1/.git/info/exclude'

Fix this edge case by creating the .git/info/ directory first.
