Revert "simplify creation of /var/cache/approx in postinst"
This reverts commit 5195b926dc48236d971c02bc3addc71a143cf5d3.
The postinst script cannot rely on adduser to create the cache directory.
When the approx package is purged, the cache directory is removed but
not the approx user. If the approx package is reinstalled,
adduser will exit without creating the cache directory.
