Description of change

On macOS, dgoss needs a different temporary directory than /tmp. This has been reported and fixed already in #329 and #624.
The workaround of setting DGOSS_TEMP_DIR=~/tmp works well, but could be better documented.
I did lose some time figuring this out today because the installation instructions don't tell you that this is needed.

Thanks for the documentation update.

If this is a consistent problem on macos, perhaps dgoss should detect when it's running on macos and choose a different temp dir by default?
