Description
I'd like to generate Julia plots for a book written with bookdown. The following code
```{julia, dev='png'}
using Plots
gr()
plot(1:10,1:10)
produces the following error:
GKS: file open error (/tmp.pdf)
open: Keine Berechtigung (german for no permission)
Why is there a PDF-File involved although the output file format has been selected to be PNG?
I'm using Julia 1.5.3, R version 3.6.3, and JuliCall 0.17.1.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the supplied Julia chunk in a bookdown document with Julia 1.5.3, R 3.6.3, and JuliCall 0.17.1, then trace how the dev='png' setting reaches Julia's plotting and GKS output handling. Done means the chunk produces the requested PNG without attempting to open /tmp.pdf or raising a permission error.
