vmon: add --wip-name commandline argument
--wip-name sets a constant name to use for the pre-rename temp name of snapshots. Otherwise a dynamic dot-filename augmented from the destination name is used. The impetus for this is to simplify garbage collection of produced PNGs. We'll ignore dot-files to never step on the WIP file during GC, but would like vmon to truncate and reuse the same WIP name so it's not potentially accumulating the dot-files in weird failure modes where the snapshots repeatedly fail to complete and get renamed. So in such a scenario we'll pass a dot-file for --wip-name and vmon will keep reusing that name, never leaking more than the single WIP file in even a persistent a failure mode.
