This adds a new temp-dir setting for controlling the temporary directory without having to change the TMPDIR env var. This can be used to e.g. use a path on a case-sensitive store on macOS for temporary files without changing the TMPDIR var used by interactive shells or commands invoked with `nix run`. This also stops unsetting `TMPDIR` on darwin when the env var value starts with `/var/folders/`, preferring instead to just do the check when reading `TMPDIR`. This way the inherited `TMPDIR` env var is preserved for child processes (such as interactive shells). As a side effect this changes the behavior of `nix-build -o ''` to act like `nix-build --no-out-link` instead of failing with an error caused by trying to create a symlink at the cwd.
