Well, this directory is needed to start communication between
cooperating processes. So it must be either fixed or passed
via environment variables or maybe passed via command line
(but this is problematic due to Lisp command line handling).
For our purposes TMPDIR looks good enough, I am not sure if
mkdtemp gives us any gain. If used we would call it in single
place in C code.
