Set Temp PDF File Path

IronPDF will occasionally generate Temporary files while rendering and editing PDF documents. This is unavoidable.

We can set IronPdf.Installation.TempFolderPath to work around this also, tho the Environmental TempPath Directory may still sometimes be used in some cases by 3rd party packages.

To control this we can set the TempPath Environmental Variable application wide in C# on application startup.
