Some users have failures trying to read/write to Roaming #2

Just had a user on discord who couldn't start the websocket server with SSL because the cert wasn't showing up. Turns out, they had no c:\Users[name]\AppData\Roaming\Buttplug directory. If they run as admin, it showed up. We need to figure out a way to create configuration that's robust enough to deal with a situation where a user can't creating Roaming data. Also need to figure out why a user can't create Roaming data in the first place.

Did the server still fail to generate the cert even after creating the directory?

I know that there's a mkdir missing from the config writer code, but normally the cert code gets there first and creates the folder (except when that exception handling was missing in master a bit ago).

Also, any environment information? Any particular virus scanners or similar that could be augmenting the ACLs?

Windows 10 build 17xxx. Didn't ask about virus scanners, though this happened on the #buttplug-support channel on discord so you can see the log there.

I had them create the directory themselves. At that point, the config file wrote but the cert still wouldn't. Running as administrator made everything work.

I'm wondering if it might be related to the anti-randomware stuff Windows introduced recently. I found it was disabled on at least one of my systems by default, so I'll try and play with that.
