Make Tempdir Standard use settings API for location

[MagnificentPako]

I suggest that the Tempdir standard moves from a hardcoded location to a path defined by a setting, which can be changed to the user's preferences.

I think this probably needs a little bit more rewording than just replacing every instance of /tmp with settings.get("tempdir", "/tmp").

I'm also curious of your use-case here? It seems to add a lot of complications without much tangible benefit.

Could you please elaborate on the benefits/use cases of this?

I can see this causing a large number of difficulties and complications. With this you would basically have to include a settings API with every program that wants to save temporary files. We don't have anything else in this API you mention either, so I doubt it would be used that much. The way I see it the more simple this is the more likely it is going to be used.

So unfortunately it's probably a no from me, but if you do have solutions to these issues by all means point them out.
