Cache folder creation without sudo not possible

[Forage]

Reporting a bug 🐛

The elevate function is not used for mkdir so deb-get won't work without sudo in the command line because without it you don't have the permissions to create something in /var/cache/.

Expected behavior

Run deb-get without sudo in command line.

Actual behavior

The user is presented with an error like WARNING! Updating /var/cache/deb-get/azuredatastudio.json failed. Deleting it. because the mkdir error when creating the cache folder is being suppressed and a file can therefore not be created there.

Steps to reproduce

./deb-get install xxx
