[PATCH, Modula2] PR-108142 Many empty directories created in the build directory

PR-108142 Modula-2 configure generates many subdirectories in the top
build directory.  This patch dynamically creates subdirectories under
gcc/m2 if and when required.

Bootstrapped on x86_64 gnu/linux, ok for master?

gcc/m2/ChangeLog:

	* Make-lang.in (GM2_1): Change -B path to m2/stage1.
	($(objdir)/m2/images/gnu.eps): Check and create dest dir
	if necessary.
	(gm2-libs.texi-check): Check and create dir m2/gm2-libs-pim,
	m2/gm2-libs-iso and m2/gm2-libs if necessary.
