zine build fails if dest/static directory not exists

[DingDean]

Which version am I using?

zine 0.3.0 on Mac mini (M1, 2020)

What's the problem?

Zine fails to build a newly-generated project, reporting a panic:
Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

How to reproduce?

1. install zine 0.3.0
2. zine new testproject
3. cd testproject
4. zine build
   The build should fail by now.

What might cause the issue?

After digging around in the source code, I believe the problem results from include_dir crate.

In 0.3.0, Zine copies the builtin static files into output directory's static folder by using include_dir. When include_dir extracting a file, it simply uses fs::write(TAEGET_PATH), which will panic if TARGET_PATH includes non-existence directory.

Because testproject/build/static directory does not exists when include_dir tries to extract zine's buildin static file, it simply panics.

In version 0.2.1, zine would create the output static directory first before copying static files, so the problem did not exist.

If we create mkdir testproject/build/static manually, then zine build successfully.
