At present there are two callers of get_tmp_filename() and they are
inconsistent.
One does:
/* TODO: extra byte is a hack to ensure MAX_PATH space on Windows. */
char *tmp_filename = g_malloc0(PATH_MAX + 1);
...
ret = get_tmp_filename(tmp_filename, PATH_MAX + 1);
while the other does:
s->qcow_filename = g_malloc(PATH_MAX);
ret = get_tmp_filename(s->qcow_filename, PATH_MAX);
As we can see different 'size' arguments are passed. There are also
platform specific implementations inside the function, and the use
of snprintf is really undesirable.
The function name is also misleading. It creates a temporary file,
not just a filename.
Refactor this routine by changing its name and signature to:
char *create_tmp_file(Error **errp)
and use g_get_tmp_dir() / g_mkstemp() for a consistent implementation.
While we are here, add some comments to mention that /var/tmp is
preferred over /tmp on non-win32 hosts.

Changes in v6:
- use g_mkstemp() and stick to use /var/tmp for non-win32 hosts
Changes in v5:
- minor change in the commit message
- add some notes in the function comment block
- add g_autofree for tmp_filename
Changes in v4:
- Rename the function to create_tmp_file() and take "Error **errp" as
a parameter, so that callers can pass errp all the way down to this
routine.
- Commit message updated to reflect the latest change
Changes in v3:
- Do not use errno directly, instead still let get_tmp_filename() return
a negative number to indicate error
Changes in v2:
- Use g_autofree and g_steal_pointer
