Bug 1949205 - Create artifacts directory if it doesn't exist. r=perftest-reviewers,afinder

This patch ensures that the artifacts directory gets created if it doesn't exist when running mach perftest locally. It also adds a check for the existence of the output directory during mochitest gecko profiling. At the same time, the aritfacts folder is added to the hg/git ignore files.
