Error in technique editor just after install: No such file or directory: '/var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf/generic_methods.json'

Description
On a debian9 [update: same on debian 10 and centos 8, so likely everywhere], the installation of the rudder server does not create the /var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf folder which is needed by the technique editor.
If you go immediately to technique after install, you getthe following error:
[2020-05-29 10:52:07+0200] ERROR com.normation.rudder.rest.RestUtils - "Could not get generic methods metadata <- Inconsistency: An error occured while updating generic methods library,\n error out: Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/usr/share/ncf/ncf\", line 96, in <module>\n write_all_methods(\"\")\n File \"/usr/share/ncf/ncf\", line 61, in write_all_methods\n with open('/var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf/generic_methods.json', 'w') as outfile:\nFileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf/generic_methods.json'\n\n std out: "
WORKAROUND:
- wait for the first agent run, it will create the missing directory,
- or a simple mkdir on the folder /var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf fixed the issue

- Subject changed from Missing ncf folder after fresh install in /var/rudder/configuration-repository to Error in technique editor just after install: No such file or directory: '/var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf/generic_methods.json'
- Description updated (diff)
Directory is created at first rudder agent run so I don't think it's blocking, but it's horrible. We should be sure to create all directories under /var/rudder/configuration-repository at install.
During install, a first run can't be done:
