In snapshot mode, bdrv_open creates an empty temporary file without
checking for mkstemp or close failure, and ignoring the possibility
of a buffer overrun given a surprisingly long $TMPDIR.
Change the get_tmp_filename function to return int (not void),
so that it can inform its two callers of those failures.
Also avoid the risk of buffer overrun and do not ignore mkstemp
or close failure.
Update both callers (in block.c and vvfat.c) to propagate
temp-file-creation failure to their callers.

get_tmp_filename creates and closes an empty file, while its
callers later open that presumed-existing file with O_CREAT.
The problem was that a malicious user could provoke mkstemp failure
and race to create a symlink with the selected temporary file name,
thus causing the qemu process (usually root owned) to open through
the symlink, overwriting an attacker-chosen file.

This addresses CVE-2012-2652.

Note that I haven't tried to see if the _WIN32 -GetLastError() return
value is properly diagnosed as it is propagated up the call stack.

It appears that s->used_clusters gets leaked in vvfat.  This can be
addressed in a separate patch since other codepaths also leak it.
