In the unexpected case that Elasticsearch dies due to a segfault or other similar native issue, a core dump is useful in diagnosing the problem. Yet core dumps are written to the working directory, which is read-only for most installations of Elasticsearch. This commit changes the working directory to the logs dir which should always be writeable.
With the change to using the logs dir as the working dir of the Elasticsearch process we need to ensure the logs dir exists within the CLI instead of later during startup. relates elastic#124966
