[issue1318] Remove os.tmpnam() and os.tempnam() [patch]

Guido van Rossum report at bugs.python.org

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Martin, why do we need to keep these when we already have tempfile.py? 
I don't see that they solve any particular POSIX compatibility
requirement.  And they *are* unsafe.  (Admitted, sometimes there's no
alternative -- even tempfile.py still provides unsafe APIs by necessity.)
