tests: create test directories under /tmp/kallithea_tests rather than /tmp

Do not pollute /tmp with tens of test directories.

diff --git a/kallithea/tests/__init__.py b/kallithea/tests/__init__.py
--- a/kallithea/tests/__init__.py
+++ b/kallithea/tests/__init__.py
@@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ environ = {}
     #SOME GLOBALS FOR TESTS
   -TESTS_TMP_PATH = jn('/', 'tmp', 'rc_test_%s' %
_RandomNameSequence().next())
+TESTS_TMP_PATH = jn('/', 'tmp', 'kallithea_tests', 'rc_test_%s' %
_RandomNameSequence().next())

That would do that different users can't run the tests on the same machine.
We should probably add the uid to the tmp name, as in
/tmp/kallithea_tests.1000/... .
Hmm, indeed. In fact, we could also use a random suffix in that
top-level directory, instead of the user id.

Perhaps ... but if it still is leaking, it would perhaps be better if it leaked in the same dir every time.

A predictable name in /tmp could however be a "DOS", so perhaps, yes.

IIRC, this is not enough to move _all_ output?

Also, the real solution is to clean up, right? This is just a workaround?
Might be worth mentioning in the commit message.
You're probably right. I must admit I did not investigate this in detail.
I think the correct approach is to let nosetests/py.test generate a
temp directory, and use any facilities in there to avoid them being in
/tmp directly.

The Mercurial test suite will by default do that and remove it after the tests have completed, with an option for skipping that removal. That seems like a fine solution.

Also, within that shared tmp dir there is no need for using random names. More predictable names can make it easier to debug tests.
