Bug description:
  [Impact]
  apt in disco and the current set of SRUs introduce support for .conf snippets in auth.conf.d, but accidentally did not introduce the auth.conf.d directory, making it hard to discover if support for it exists, and requiring users to create the dir if it is missing - that's bad UX.

  [Test case]
  Install apt, make sure /etc/apt/auth.conf.d exists

  [Regression potential]
  It's just a directory, what could possibly go wrong?
