New description:
The function `graphics_filename()` in `sage/misc/temporary_file.py` was
created for the notebook. When used in other places, it is unsafe (race
condition + creates predicatable filenames) and can clutter the current
working directory with files. Therefore, we should use `tmp_filename()` in
`graphics_filename()` except when `EMBEDDED_MODE` is `True`. This also
simplifies the logic in various `show()` methods.
