permissions -rw-r--r--
scripts: check for, and warn about an unset CT_PREFIX_DIR

The user shall provide a directory to install the toolchain into.
If he/she does not, this is an error, and shall be detected properly,
rather than relying on failure down the road.

Thanks to "Pedro I. Sanchez" <psanchez@colcan.ca> for pointing out
the issue:
