Bug 945903 changed the location of installed webapps for eng builds from /data/local/webapps to /system/b2g/webapps. This is all fine and good, but it seems that in some cases our scripts were relying on the adb push to /data/local/webapps to create the /data/local/ directory if it was missing. In particular, now if the /data/local directory is missing then install-gaia.py will do: adb push user.js /data/local Normally /data/local is a directory so this installs the file within the directory. If the directory is missing, however, it instead copies the user.js to a file called "/data/local". The end result is that b2g cannot boot and spits out errors regarding failures to open the settings DB.

This pull request attempts to avoid this problem by using the full destination path when installing user.js.
