feat: add GLOBAL_WORKING_DIR and GLOBAL_WORKING_PROCESS_DIR config pa…

…rameteres (#3014)

This PR introduces GLOBAL_WORKING_DIR and GLOBAL_WORKING_PROCESS_DIR
controlling where temporary files are stored during partition flow, via
tempfile.tempdir.

#### Edit:
Renamed prefixes from STORAGE_ to UNSTRUCTURED_CACHE_

#### Edit 2:
Renamed prefixes from UNSTRUCTURED_CACHE to GLOBAL_WORKING_DIR_

 ### BREAKING CHANGES
 
@@ -9,6 +9,7 @@
 * **Skip unnecessary element sorting in `partition_pdf()`**. Skip element sorting when determining whether embedded text can be extracted.
 * **Faster evaluation** Support for concurrent processing of documents during evaluation
 * **Add strategy parameter to `partition_docx()`.** Behavior of future enhancements may be sensitive the partitioning strategy. Add this parameter so `partition_docx()` is aware of the requested strategy.
+* **Add GLOBAL_WORKING_DIR and GLOBAL_WORKING_PROCESS_DIR** configuration parameteres to control temporary storage.
 
 ### Features
 * **Add form extraction basics (document elements and placeholder code in partition)**. This is to lay the ground work for the future. Form extraction models are not currently available in the library. An attempt to use this functionality will end in a `NotImplementedError`.
