build: Create new 'tmp' directory for tests.
Having a separate directory means:
(1) It's easy to clean up orphaned temporary files, the appliance,
etc.
(2) You can put an SELinux label on this directory so that qemu can
write to it when you're using sVirt and SELinux is enforcing:
chcon --reference=/tmp tmp
