Summary: 642391: tempfile.mktemp() docs to include dir info

Initial Comment:
added text that states that if a directory is not
provided to mktemp(), the system wide temporary
directory, or a suitable unique directory name is
prepended to the filename

I don't think this patch addresses the concern of bug
642391. The issue is not in which directory the temporary
files are created, but whether the temporary files need to
be files. They need not: mktemp can also be used to create
temporary directories.

Of course, as mktemp suffers from security problems, using
mkdtemp (new in 2.3) is better to create temporary directories.
