Title: Change default tmproot to avoid writing-to-/tmp permission errors

We've had some users complaining about jitsu erroring out because certain configurations don't allow for writing to /tmp. As part of a solution, I propose that we change the default directory for temporary file writes to `~/.jitsu`.

Truth be told, I prefer writing to /tmp conceptually, but I'd rather write somewhere else if it means that less users have difficulty.

Another thing to consider: If we write to /tmp it will get auto-cleaned on reboot. I don't think we can count on that for `~/.jitsu`, so adopting this change would mean having to think about cleanup.
