[pbs-devel] [PATCH 1/2] add tempfile helper without O_TMPFILE or memfd_create

[Mira Limbeck]

As WSL does not support O_TMPFILE nor memfd_create, we need a different
way to create tempfiles if we want to support windows host backups
through WSL (without ADS).
The workaround is to use mkstemp in /tmp and unlinking the file
right after creation.

Add FIXME comment to change it back to O_TMPFILE once we no longer require
the mkstemp workaround for windows support.
