[Code Feature]: Ensure PowerPoint images get written to a data folder

Feature

When running the Jupyter Notebook code and in the current setup, the PowerPoint images are written to a temporary location and then deleted. The behavior should be that the PowerPoint images are written to a location where the user has specified in the configuration file (experiment_settings_example.ini), that parameter will typically be "process_dir". The PowerPoint images should be written to a folder in the process_dir location, $process_dir/PowerPointImageFigures, or something similar.

This will allow users to maintain the power point images after the run is completed, which they can then use as individual reference points or upload to a document. These images will be higher quality than if extracted directly from the power point itself.

Feature

The requirement for completion is that the images get saved to the correct location and I have verified that they are in fact being saved there.

What OS do you intend to use this on?

Windows

I have made a ton of progress on this and it is working for both Jupyter Notebooks, enclosed_energy and target_identification. I want to take another pass at it though because for a while target_identification wasn't working and then it started working successfully. I want to play around with this some more. When I say that it is working, the code that I added to place the PowerPoint figures in the PowerPointFigures folder, is indeed placing them there and not deleting them.

In this work (jehsharp@3b4bad8), I essentially made the variable powerpoint_figures_save_path an instance variable so that the correct path could be passed directly from the user-defined config file (experiment_settings.ini, used in conjunction with the notebook) to PowerpointImageProcessor and then to PowerpointImage. If no path is passed, then it will default to the location in the previous iteration of the code. On Windows, it was the AppData location I believe.

I also commented out all the lines where these images got deleted. I probably should just remove those functions entirely, or comment them out.

Will create PR for this one soon, I still need to clean some stuff up.
