options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer

A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.
Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.
