Ensure atomic creation of a cached appliance
Cached appliances are discovered by their predictable path. Previously we were
creating a cached appliance directly in this predictable path. This had at least
2 undesirable effects:
* Interrupting appliance creation would leave a corrupt appliance
* 2 processes could simultaneously attempt to create the same appliance, causing
corruption.
This patch causes the cached appliance to be created in a temporary directory,
and then renamed to the predictable path. As rename is an atomic operation, this
makes the whole creation atomic.
This patch also changes the predictable path to have a prefix of 'guestfs.'.
This will make it simpler for system administrators to clean up old cached
appliances.
This patch resolves RHBZ#639405
