I2PSnark handles inaccessible storage dir badly

Reported by: Reportage Owned by: zzz
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.9.34

Description

On startup, if I2PSnark cannot find the configured storage directory, it fails to start. Making the storage directory available and then starting I2PSnark causes abnormal disk access and takes a very long time to initialize.

In the event that the configured storage directory isn't found, it might be better to fallback to the default storage location and add a notification to the screen log that the configured location is inaccessible etc.
