Description

We have had some issues with Mantid trying to write logs to the user config directory when it is not available.

A simple fix is to check that we can write to the directory, if not use the system temp directory as the log directory

Make system temp directory ultimate fallback for logs.

If we cannot write to user configuration directory, then write the logs to the systems temp directory.

Looks good for the case of the snsdata running autoreduction, it is not a generic fix which is what #7988 is for.
