scripts: correctly warn when the local tarballs directory does not exist

Warn about a missing local tarball directory, only if it was configured.
Avoid the spurious message:
Directory '${CT_LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR}' does not exist.
Will not save downloaded tarballs to local storage.

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

fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
