so i reworked settings behavior for this feature, now everything should be fine:

when geany starts without existing temp files dir setting or settings file - it populates default dir path setting and creates folder on disk
when geany starts with existing dir setting that is invalid (e.g. folder was deleted manually) - feature gets auto-disabled and status message sent.
when user tries to save feature settings - dialog wont close until valid dir is set (or 'cancel' clicked).
enabling feature with invalid dir path in a textbox is also not possible anymore.

also, i fulfilled old TODO of instantsave code i reused and added one of utils function to plugins API (checking if file is writable)

Overall, now everything seems working fine to me.
As it is expected - doing any changes in C may be hilariously tedious, and current code will anyway have to be re-wired to new UI (if we want it to change), so i guess we need to confirm an approach and then (if this happens) - try to finish everything.
e.g. this looks good to me #3911 (review)
