Instead of requiring clients to generate temporary file names themselves,
(or use the cryptic "memory:" string!), this PR adds a static constant
QgsProcessing.TEMPORARY_OUTPUT
If a layer/sink output parameter is set to QgsProcessing.TEMPORARY_OUTPUT,
then the temporary output filename will be generated automatically at
algorithm run time. This means callers don't need to mess around with
finding appropriate temporary folders and paths.
Another benefit is that TEMPORARY_OUTPUT is stored in the processing
history, so if you re-run a previous algorithm which was set to
output to a temporary file, it no longer tries to use that same
previous temporary path and instead generates a new one.
