Use $TMPDIR when creating the /dev/null placeholder for p4merge.
This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file
in their worktree.
This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and
$REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving
merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that
situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

v3 revised the commit message to better justify the change.
This is a replacement for what's current in 'next'.
