generic temporary work folder causing overwriting issues #28

Description

@rhs2132

I was running multiple povme processes in the same folder and getting confusing results. I figured out that povme creates a work folder (.povme_tmp) in the current directory with subfolders (i.e. frame_1.pym) only identified by frame number. Since I was running multiple processes, each was overwriting the others and the result was essentially random.

I have now separated my runs into separate working directories, but uniquely identifying the work directory or frame directories with some string unique to the run would eliminate this issue.
