Adds a 'Temperature' row to the System Info page which shows the (RPi's) current temperature.
Monitoring the Raspberry Pi’s temperature is especially important on warmer days—particularly in projects like this, where it's enclosed on all sides and struggles to dissipate heat.
The command used is:
vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -d "=" -f2.The first part, vcgencmd measure_temp, is a built-in command available on Raspberry Pi devices running the Lite OS. It retrieves the current temperature of the device. The second part, cut -d "=" -f2, splits the output at the equals sign (=) and returns the portion after it—typically something like 46.2'C.
