pdfbeads writes temporary files to $PWD instead of $TMPDIR #4

Description

@stapelberg

This is a problem when running pdfbeads with $PWD on a different file system (e.g. /home on persistent storage such as an SSD) than the input files (e.g. /tmp, a tmpfs), as one cannot rename() across file systems.

Instead of the current working directory, scratch files should be stored in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMPDIR
