Description

When adding missing error handling to the export of certificates via drag'n'drop I noticed that

Temporary files with the exported certificates are created in the current working directory instead of in the temp folder.
When exporting the same certificate multiple times to different folders the resulting files are unnecessarily sequentially numbered.

test on hold: needs gpg4win5 appimage, see https://dev.gnupg.org/T7509

rKLEOPATRA Kleopatra
	rKLEOPATRA8c2f8377d035 Cache exported keys and use temp dirs instead of temp files in cwd
	rKLEOPATRAa2997f8f651c Add helper to create a temp dir that's removed when kleopatra exits

This can only be tested with the AppImage because on Windows we disable drag&drop of certificates.

For each d'n'd operation

one temporary folder is created in the default temp folder (e.g. /tmp)
when exporting the same certificate multiple times to different folders the resulting files all have the same name
