CDS API start with non initialized artiffact directory segfaults

[gsalingu]

I am facing this issue while booting a new instance of cds

gsalingu@cds:~/cds$ ./cds-engine start api --config conf.toml
Reading configuration file @ conf.toml
Starting service api
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x18 pc=0xe3c96d]

Here is the associated conf

        [cdn.storageUnits.storages.local.local]
          path = "/var/lib/cds-engine/cdn"

The directory does not exist but my current user does not have permission to create it

gsalingu@cds:~/github/ovh/cds$ ls -lai /var/lib/cds-engine/cdn
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/cds-engine/cdn': Permission denied

The binary should exit and prompt an intelligible error message

A PR to address this will be following this issue's creation
