Creating an instance of the 'TestEnv' class will create a temporary
directory. This dir is only deleted, however, in the __exit__ handler
invoked by a context manager.

In dry-run mode, we don't use the TestEnv via a context manager, so
were leaking the temporary directory. Since meson invokes 'check'
5 times on each configure run, developers /tmp was filling up with
empty temporary directories.

Could we also arrange for the temp directory to be created
with a name that makes it easy to identify what has created it?
Very generic names like "/tmp/tmpNNNNNNNN" are very hard to
pin down to the code that created them.

thanks

(with my limited understanding of this code)

Thanks!
