refactor(config): centralize output path configuration and simplify printing

Move output path configuration to Skunk::Config and remove file output logic from Application#print
Update tests and documentation to reflect changes in output path handling

Even if the default path where the JSON and HTML reports are generated are `tmp/rubycritic` you can now modify them.
