        immpbe: unlink any /tmp/imm.db.xxxx file and journal when exiting on 
error
        [#869]

        Symptoms of the problem are dropped imm.db.xxxxxx files, mkstemp(3), and
        imm.db.xxxxxx-journal files. The journal files are actually consistently
        dropped as empty files even on successfull generation of imm.db.

        The cause is simply an omission to unlink the temp file when exiting on
        error and the fact that that sqlite never unlinks the journal file when
        journaling mode is TRUNCATE. The journaling mode was altered for PBE a 
few
        years ago.

        Solution is to catch all cases of controlled exit of PBE during the
        generation of the temporary imm.db file and unlink these files before
        exiting. This ticket does not take care of cleaning up files dropped by 
an
        uncontrolled crash of PBE. To solve that problem safely and reliably we 
need
        to create all temporary imm.db files in a sub directory to the 
configured
        IMMSV_PBE_TMP_DIR in immnd.conf. That is a change of file representation
        that is more risky, needs more righorous sytem testing and will thus be
        added as an enhancement.

Testing Commands:
-----------------
Actually testing dropped tmp files requires fault injection to the PBE.
The patch also fixes the removval of the droped empty journal file.
This is easy to check. 


Testing, Expected Results:
--------------------------
Without this patch, the empty imm.db.XXXXXX-journal file is always droped in 
the 
/tmp direcotry (or the directory configured for tmp files). Alaso on any case
of controlledexit of PBE during generation of imm.db.XXXXXX temprary file will
drop that file in the sam tmp directory. 

With this patch, no imm.db files should be dropped in the tmp directory except 
possibly after uncontrolled crash of PBE. Implementation of cleanup of tmp files
dropped after crash  will be tracked by a separate enhancement ticket. 
This is a defect ticket.

[Submitters: make sure that your review doesn't trigger any checkmarks!]


Your checkin has not passed review because (see checked entries):

___ Your RR template is generally incomplete; it has too many blank entries
    that need proper data filled in.

___ You have failed to nominate the proper persons for review and push.

___ Your patches do not have proper short+long header

___ You have grammar/spelling in your header that is unacceptable.

___ You have exceeded a sensible line length in your headers/comments/text.

___ You have failed to put in a proper Trac Ticket # into your commits.

___ You have incorrectly put/left internal data in your comments/files
    (i.e. internal bug tracking tool IDs, product names etc)

___ You have not given any evidence of testing beyond basic build tests.
    Demonstrate some level of runtime or other sanity testing.

___ You have ^M present in some of your files. These have to be removed.

___ You have needlessly changed whitespace or added whitespace crimes
    like trailing spaces, or spaces before tabs.

___ You have mixed real technical changes with whitespace and other
    cosmetic code cleanup changes. These have to be separate commits.

___ You need to refactor your submission into logical chunks; there is
    too much content into a single commit.

___ You have extraneous garbage in your review (merge commits etc)

___ You have giant attachments which should never have been sent;
    Instead you should place your content in a public tree to be pulled.

___ You have too many commits attached to an e-mail; resend as threaded
    commits, or place in a public tree for a pull.

___ You have resent this content multiple times without a clear indication
    of what has changed between each re-send.

___ You have failed to adequately and individually address all of the
    comments and change requests that were proposed in the initial review.

___ You have a misconfigured ~/.hgrc file (i.e. username, email etc)

___ Your computer have a badly configured date and time; confusing the
    the threaded patch review.

___ Your changes affect IPC mechanism, and you don't present any results
    for in-service upgradability test.

___ Your changes affect user manual and documentation, your patch series
    do not contain the patch that updates the Doxygen manual.
