    Manages a temporary file, which will be deleted when this object is deleted.

    This object is intended to be used as a stack based object, using its scope
    to make sure the temporary file isn't left lying around.

    For example:

    @code
    {
        File myTargetFile ("~/myfile.txt");

        // this will choose a file called something like "~/myfile_temp239348.txt"
        // which definitely doesn't exist at the time the constructor is called.
        TemporaryFile temp (myTargetFile);

        // create a stream to the temporary file, and write some data to it...
        ScopedPointer<FileOutputStream> out (temp.getFile().createOutputStream());

        if (out != nullptr)
        {
            out->write ( ...etc )
            out = nullptr; // (deletes the stream)

            // ..now we've finished writing, this will rename the temp file to
            // make it replace the target file we specified above.
            bool succeeded = temp.overwriteTargetFileWithTemporary();
        }

        // ..and even if something went wrong and our overwrite failed,
        // as the TemporaryFile object goes out of scope here, it'll make sure
        // that the temp file gets deleted.
    }
    @endcode

        Before calling this, make sure:

        - that you've closed any open streams that you were using to write to it
        - and that you don't have any streams open to the target file, which would
          prevent it being overwritten

        have disappeared. If it fails, the temporary file will probably still exist,
