Create index dir if not present on _nvm_index_update #174

> nvm install lts
<W> fish: An error occurred while redirecting file '/home/eugene/.local/share/nvm/.index.temp'
open: No such file or directory
nvm: Can't update index, host unvailable: "https://nodejs.org/dist"

If the $index path does not exist in _nvm_index_update, it shows an error about not being able to update the index because the host is unavailable. However, really, it is because that index directory path is missing.

The index path aka $nvm_data is created here

https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish/blob/e4e603af527677dc954c5e6d1730bdf36f0e5ba1/conf.d/nvm.fish#L6

which runs when you install nvm. If you also happen to uninstall nvm and install it again it will be recreated too.

So, how did you get into a situation where it didn't exist?
