There is at least one case where the directories are needed before a
daemon starts: net ads join is run before starting any daemons, and it
tries to look up DC information from the gencache. I can try to change
the code that it returns NOT_FOUND without the cache directory. The
question is if that is worth the effort, or if our code should expect
that all required directories already exist, e.g. from the package
installation.
