Add TMPDIR workaround for jbrowse text-index
trafficstars
@SamCT ran into an issue running jbrowse text-index on his machine where one of the larger GFF would produce an error: EPIPE without much other info. I diagnosed this to a problem where the tmp directory was probably out of space, or otherwise limited in some way.
We could modify jbrowse text-index to catch generic EPIPE errors and suggest a TMPDIR workaround, which essentially looks like this
mkdir newdir
TMPDIR=newdir jbrowse text-index ...
that way, it will use the local newdir folder, which may have more space and resources, instead of the default /tmp
