[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 proxmox 4/7] sys: add make_tmp_dir

[Lukas Wagner]

Under the hood, this function calls `mkdtemp` from libc. Unfortunatly
the nix crate did not provide bindings for this function, so we have
to call into libc directly.

Notes:
    Changes from v1 -> v2:
      - Use remove_dir instead of unlink
      - Log error if cleaning up dir did not work
      - Change how the tmp dir path is passed to mkdtemp, retaining
        ownership at all time.
      - Check for os_error immediately after calling mkdtemp
