Prior to this change, the default value for the `--reslice-dir` flag of
`None` was transformed into a temp dir.

However, there have been observations of:
- insufficient storage space
- sometimes very slow write speeds when on the cusp of filling up the
  storage space

in `/tmp` of DLS cluster nodes.

This, together with noting that the output directory is very often at
DLS a dir within a GPFS mount and that write speeds are more consistent
and faster this way, motivated the decision to instead transform the
default value of `None` for the `--reslice-dir` flag to the output dir
that httomo creates.
