use tempdir instead of tempname in test/pkg.jl

since tempname creates a file on windows, but the goal here is creating
a directory. also don't try to delete nonexistent files during cleanup

arm: don't set BINARY=32. fixes #9102

if BINARY is set then OpenBLAS adds `-m32`, which is unsupported on ARM

cpu detection works, so OpenBLAS should now build without patching. see also:

fix #8551 and make stack switch more efficient

previously, each new stack would have a copy of a small portion of the
stack that started it. in small amounts, this was fine, but it is bad if
the user is starting many tasks. additionally, it wasted memory inside
every task to have a per-task base_ctx.
