separate scratch from tmp, default to tmp, allow to be configurable (use for canvases, and other temporary files that could potentially be big) #507

Currently, temporary files (canvases, CachedCellImg, etc) are stored inside the paintera project. However, they are not valid N5 files. A project setting to specify a scratch location for tmp files should be exposed.

An initial thought is to use this library: https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-jvm which makes reasonable default assumptions in a platform agnostic way. We could use cacheDir for this, and even projectCacheDir for things like the paintera .lock file, which should also likely be moved
