Update docs and usage of TEMPFILE/TempFileMunge
tempfiles are now cleaned up via registering a cleanups with atexit(), instead of trying to squeeze removing the file into the command line. On Windows that caused the file to get deleted too early (did not work well with interactive mode), and on Linux it didn't remove the file at all. The Platform test expected to be able to read the tempfilename as the last argument of the "command", but this is no longer provided as the "rm filename" is no longer added, so now it has to chop off the prefix from the command-file argument to get the filename. Unrelatedly, two syntax warnings that turn up in the test output where some TeX syntax was listed in a docstring in a test are fixed by making that a raw string - got tired of seeing these.

+- Temporary files created by TempFileMunge() are now cleaned up on
