Add file-based startup config & temp dir option

Added support for configuring all major Jellyfin paths (data, config, cache, log, temp, web) via a `startup.json` file, with priority after CLI and environment variables. Introduced a new `TempDir` option, configurable through CLI, env var, or config file, with backward-compatible defaults. Refactored path resolution logic to integrate file-based config and ensure directory creation. Updated constructors and CLI options to support temp directory. Improved EF Core migration error handling and logging. Added comprehensive documentation and example config files. All changes are backward compatible.
