The fixed probe path could delete existing files, follow symlinks, and race between launches. Use an exclusively created temporary file instead. Limit migration instructions to rebuildable local entries so user data stays in place. Follow-up to #2373

Data directories
OpenIDEA keeps its rebuildable data, such as downloaded tools, language servers, JDKs and index caches, in the operating system's local data directory:
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ai.l0ng.openidea - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/ai.l0ng.openidea - Linux:
~/.local/share/ai.l0ng.openidea
To keep this data elsewhere, for example on another drive, set
OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR to an absolute path before starting OpenIDEA. The IDE
then uses <OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR>/ai.l0ng.openidea and creates it when
missing. If the path is relative or cannot be written, OpenIDEA shows an error
and exits instead of falling back to the default location.
setx OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR "E:\OpenIDEA"
Settings, plugins, scratches and other user data stay in the operating system's
data and configuration directories. Logs stay in their usual location, so they
are still written when the variable is wrong. Existing data is not moved: quit
OpenIDEA and move only tools/, language-server-runtimes/, index/, cache/,
lsp/, notebook-runtime/, server/, logs/, agents/tools/,
agents/registry.json and top-level java-usages-*.jar / java-usages-*.tmp to
the new location, preserving their relative paths, or let the IDE download and
rebuild them. Leave everything else in place.
