Add a new --temp-dir CLI flag that allows users to specify where presenterm should create temporary directories when rendering typst and LaTeX content. This is useful when presentations are stored in read-only directories such as the nix store, where the default behavior of creating temp directories in the presentation's directory would fail. When --temp-dir is provided, temporary directories are created in the specified location. Otherwise, the system temp directory is used. Fixes rendering issues when running presenterm on presentations stored in read-only filesystems.
