NX daemon doesn't create dir if NX_DAEMON_SOCKET_DIR is set

[MarcusElevait]

Current Behavior

When setting a custom dir for the nx daemon socket with NX_DAEMON_SOCKET_DIR, the dir has to be there, when starting the daemon. Otherwise it throws the error:
`node:events:496
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

port: -1
}`

The problem is, that nx reset automatically deletes the dir, thus everytime running nx reset you have to remember creating the dir again.

Expected Behavior

I'd expect, that the daemon creates the dir for the socket automatically.
