[PATCH v5] Improve handoff prepare on SoCFPGA

Ensure qts folder header files are properly updated by isolating
the Python execution environment. This prevents partial or failed
script runs from corrupting the target directory.

Changelog v4 -> v5:
- Change HANDOFF_KEEP condition to if [ 2501{HANDOFF_KEEP:-0} != 0 ]
- Add HANDOFF_KEEP and HANDOFF_PATH comments in config.mk

Changes:
- Implement a temp folder for Python script execution.
- Clean temp folder automatically despite execution failures.
- Gate the file replacement process on the successful exit of
  the Python scripts.
- Execute the replacement (with or without keep) only upon script
  success via the NEW HANDOFF_KEEP=xxx variable.
- Rename old files to .h.handoff_backup.<timestamp> when the
  keep option is selected.
