The former implementation preferred /home/{username}/tmp on unix
which caused errors for users that had different permissions on
their tmp-folder in their home, like root as owner from a previous
sudo-command.
The new implementation uses a plain os.tmpdir() from node.core.
os.tmpdir in node core seems to be essentially the same as this function, with the small difference that not every process.env-variable are used on windows
I first thought about checking for the existence of the tmp-dir and then fallback to the /home/{username}/tmp folder but this makes no sense as the system must have the sytsem-/tmp dirs.
This fixes: isaacs/npm#3470
