Adds a user-settable simulation temperature (in celsius) to the Options dialog, with updates to Diode, DiodeModel, and TransistorElm so the thermal voltage (kT/q) they use is derived from CirSim.temperature rather than a hardcoded 300.15K. Closes pfalstad#147. The field is placed just before the Auto-Adjust Timestep checkbox so it is visible regardless of adjustTimeStep state. CirSim.vt is the shared thermal voltage constant; TransistorElm uses CirSim.vt throughout its junction-cap/transit-time companion-model math.
