Fixes fj#940. When running `nix-shell`, the `$NIX_BUILD_TOP` environment variable is set to `$TMPDIR` or `/tmp`. nixpkgs stdenv uses $NIX_BUILD_TOP to create `$NIX_BUILD_TOP/env-vars` which contains all the environment variables set by stdenv. This is used for debugging purposes in combination with `--keep-failed` to reload the bash environment of a derivation. `$TMPDIR` is often unset, therefore, `/tmp/env-vars` was constantly being created. On a multi-user system or, when you run Lix as root, you might create a `/tmp/env-vars` with different permission bits. As a result, `nix-shell` can cease to function because that file will fail creation for an unprivileged user for example. fj#940 rightfully remark that the code is not consistent between nix3-develop and nix-shell and it should be reworked.
