When copying files allow parent directories to be created

Source: JIRA REPO-47
Affected Version: 1.6.8.7

Allow the copyfile tags in the manifest to support creating a directory that
doesn't yet exist. In this example:

<project name="sakai">
  <copyfile src="pom.xml" dest="pom.xml"/>
  <copyfile src="kernel-deploy/pom.xml" dest="kernel-deploy/pom.xml"/>
  <copyfile src="pack-demo/pom.xml" dest="pack-demo/pom.xml"/>
</project>

the folder kernel-deploy doesn't exist in a standard checkout. As git doesn't
track directories it can't be added without creating a file inside the
directory.

The layout of the projects is coming from converting a SVN project with lots
of externals to repo/git.

Attached path which attempts to create directory if it doesn't exist.

Patch looks good, but can you upload it to our gerrit instance at
https://review.source.android.com/ project name tools/repo?  E.g. create an
account, complete a CLA, and:

  git push ssh://you@review.source.android.com:29418/tools/repo HEAD:refs/for/
master
