fix: store temporary files in .wrangler (#4127)

Previously, Wrangler used the OS's default temporary directory. On
Windows, this is usually on the `C:` drive. If your source code was
on a different drive, `esbuild` would generate invalid source maps
(source paths relative to the cwd were used verbatim in the output,
rather than being relative to sources root and the source map
location), breaking breakpoint debugging in VSCode. This change
ensures intermediate files are always written to the same drive as
sources. It also ensures unused bundle outputs are cleaned up between
`wrangler pages dev` reloads, and the same file path is used for
writing functions routes.

Closes #4052

+fix: store temporary files in `.wrangler`
+
+As Wrangler builds your code, it writes intermediate files to a temporary
+directory that gets cleaned up on exit. Previously, Wrangler used the OS's
+default temporary directory. On Windows, this is usually on the `C:` drive.
+If your source code was on a different drive, our bundling tool would generate
+invalid source maps, breaking breakpoint debugging. This change ensures
+intermediate files are always written to the same drive as sources. It also
+ensures unused build outputs are cleaned up when running `wrangler pages dev`.
+
+This change also means you no longer need to set `cwd` and
+`resolveSourceMapLocations` in `.vscode/launch.json` when creating an `attach`
+configuration for breakpoint debugging. Your `.vscode/launch.json` should now
+look something like...
+
+```jsonc
+{
+	"configurations": [
+		{
+			"name": "Wrangler",
+			"type": "node",
+			"request": "attach",
+			"port": 9229,
+			// These can be omitted, but doing so causes silent errors in the runtime
+			"attachExistingChildren": false,
+			"autoAttachChildProcesses": false
+		}
+	]
+}
+```
