If the /usr/local/bin directory is missing elastic agent fails to create the symlink and fails to install. The agent is not enrolled in fleet either.

Version: Elastic Agent 8.6.2 & 8.7.0
Operating System: MacOS Ventura 13.0
Steps to Reproduce:

Download and extract 8.6.2 or 8.7.0 elastic agents.
Expand archive.
Verify that the bin directory under /usr/local is missing
Run sudo ./elastic-agent install
Note failure with error: Error: failed to create elastic-agent symlink (/usr/local/bin/elastic-agent): symlink /Library/Elastic/Agent/elastic-agent /usr/local/bin/elastic-agent: no such file or directory

To Fix: Create the bin directory with mkdir /usr/local/bin then rerun the installer.
