Install script for aso should test / make log directory instead of failing

Update to AIX 7100-03-05-1524 is failed, when U865828.bff (bos.aso) install script tries to touch a file in /var/log/aso when that aso sub-directory is not. Script should test first and/or mkdir (its own) logging directory rather than fail the whole OS update. (Failure to do this costs a letter grade in Intro to Programming).
