Title: Create a secure temporary directory for each file.

Rather than using a predictable filename in /tmp, use os.mkdtemp() to create a
secure temporary directory with a random name and create the file inside it.
This fixes a security issue: if another user on the system created a symlink
with a name likely to be used by rsub, it can allow files to be overwritten.

This also has several other advantages: the permissions on the directory prevent
other users on the system from reading the temporary file being edited, and
because a new directory is used for each file, it's now possible to edit
multiple files with the same name from the same client without them overwriting
each other.
