The path to the sockets directory should be configurable #5

The socket files are currently stored in the home directory of the current user. Unfortunately IIS default user has no access to its home directory so the jsreport exe doesn't work there.

There needs to be at least a configurable way to store the sockets somewhere else, perhaps in temp directory.

We decided to change the default location for cli helper files into [jsreport.tempDirectory]/cli/...

looking at the implementation, since CLI code is running before getting access to jsreport instance, we don't have a way to get the tempDirectory at the right time when we need it. so we decided to join the temp directory (matching the new default temp directory of jsreport) right in the CLI and use it. we are going to use env var to allow specifying custom sockets directory.

example of inline usage:

cli_socketsDirectory=/path/to/socket-dir/ jsreport render ….
