apollo client:download fails if OUTPUT doesn't exist

[mayteio]

Intended outcome:
Should download the schema file, then put it in the OUTPUT argument, even if the folder specified doesn't exist.

Actual outcome:
My cli command:
apollo client:download-schema ./src/__generated__/schema.json fails when __generated__ folder doesn't exist.

How to reproduce the issue:
pass a filepath with a folder that doesn't exist as the OUTPUT .

I can trace that back the writeFileSync call in download-schema.ts as the culprit, where writeFileSync will throw if a folder doesn't exist.

This stackoverflow article points to two solutions - one using mkdirp and one using fs-extra, or this answer without additional packages. I would like to contribute a fix to this (if you'll have one) and was wondering if there was a preference on how to solve it? Or maybe this is desired behaviour?

I believe this is important because we store generated artifacts in a __generated__ folder, which we do not want to check into github.

Any help appreciated!

Yeah, this would be a great add! I think it should be a simple enough add. I'm going to look at adding this hopefully today :)
