Fix and add a unit test now that there are those #12362 Use Tempfile to generate temp files Previously, facter used ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'], /tmp, etc as it's temp directory search path, using the first one that existed. It then used constant file names within the temp directory to re-write the files in ruby's bin directory, and bat wrappers on Windows. First, it leads to predictable temp file names, which is bad. Second, when installing facter via a non-interactive ssh shell, e.g. ssh <host> ruby install.rb which is what the acceptance test harness does, the TMP and TEMP environment variables are usually not defined. So facter was always defaulting to /tmp, which doesn't work when installing facter on Windows agents during acceptance tests. This commit just changes the install script to use ruby's Tempfile to generate secure temp files that works in non-interactive shells.
