Bug description

Currently, Filename.temp_dir_name is obtained from an environment variable when the Filename module is initialized.

It would be convenient to allow changing its value. This would allow some client code to control where third-party libraries, which simply use Filename.temp_file/open_temp_file, put their temp files.

One could add "get_temp_dir_name: unit -> string" and "set_temp_dir_name: string -> unit"; and temp_dir_name would be the original value (marked as deprecated, and removed in a future version).
