Feature/add working directory override

[IliasP91]

Description

• Added a WorkingDirectory option to allow us specify another directory to execute daprd.exe in. The requirement for this is to allow some components use relative file paths.
• Updated one of the example projects to start a sidecar earlier in the startup flow in order to be able to use secretstores components during startup to load secrets or configurations from them.

Many thanks for the contribution! The one thing I'd request is rather than change the default ControllerSample I think the custom secrets/startup example should be in a new sample project, specifically named to indicate it represents a pattern for loading secrets at startup and with a README alongside it. In the future we will look at supporting secrets pre-loading natively in the AddDaprSidekick() method rather than using the builder, as the latter is really intended for non-ASP.NET Core apps.

not a problem at all, ill update it in the next couple of days

as for your suggestion that would be better, however probably a new internal process or component would be required as it needs to happen a lot earlier than the hosted service

regardless ill post back when i update this PR

Legend! FYI I had a quick look to see if I could relatively easily kick off the svc earlier, didn't go too far, I'll have another look next weekend, otherwise the approach in the sample has been working fine for us for a bout a week or so now
