mkdir exportdir's parent, if necessary

Tux Paint's export features will fail if the parent
of the export directory didn't exist.  e.g., using the
default (either via XDG or hard-coded fallback) of
"~/Pictures/TuxPaint/", Tux Paint could not export if
"~/Pictures/" didn't exist yet.  It will now try to
mkdir it as well.  h/t Tim Dickson

Updated OPTIONS documents to explain this.

Also, documenting --exportdir in manpage (was missing!)

(Only one level up; e.g., with an export location like
/path/to/Pictures/TuxPaint/, it will try to create
/path/to/Pictures/ if it doesn't exist, but not its parents).
