David Brownlee f3f6947604 Handle old Linux/(G)LIBC and UNIX systems the same
Linux systems pre Linux 3.11, and UNIX do not have the O_TMPFILE flag,
so let's treat them the same, by wrapping tmpfile().

/**
* tempfile - A secure tmpfile() replacement
*
* This is the secure replacement for tmpfile() that does not exist in
* GLIBC. The function uses the Linux specific %O_TMPFILE and %O_EXCL
* for security. When the %FILE is fclose()'ed the file contents is
* lost. The file is hidden in the %_PATH_TMP directory on the system.
*
* This function requires Linux 3.11, or later, due to %O_TMPFILE.
*
* Returns:
* An open %FILE pointer, or %NULL on error.
