Add several functions for creating temporary files with
automatically-generated names, analogous to mkstemps(), but also
arranging for the files to be deleted on program exit.

The functions are named according to a pattern depending how they
operate. They will be used to replace many places in the code where
temporary files are created and cleaned up ad-hoc.

+ * mks_tempfile functions
+ *
+ * The following functions attempt to create and open temporary files
+ * with names derived automatically from a template, in the manner of
+ * mkstemps(), and arrange for them to be deleted if the program ends
+ * before they are deleted explicitly. There is a whole family of such
+ * functions, named according to the following pattern:
+ *
+ *     x?mks_tempfile_t?s?m?()
+ *
+ * The optional letters have the following meanings:
+ *
+ *   x - die if the temporary file cannot be created.
+ *
+ *   t - create the temporary file under $TMPDIR (as opposed to
+ *       relative to the current directory). When these variants are
+ *       used, template should be the pattern for the filename alone,
+ *       without a path.
+ *
+ *   s - template includes a suffix that is suffixlen characters long.
+ *
+ *   m - the temporary file should be created with the specified mode
+ *       (otherwise, the mode is set to 0600).
+ *
+ * None of these functions modify template. If the caller wants to
+ * know the (absolute) path of the file that was created, it can be
+ * read from tempfile->filename.
+ *
+ * On success, the functions return a file descriptor that is open for
+ * writing the temporary file. On errors, they return -1 and set errno
+ * appropriately (except for the "x" variants, which die() on errors).
