Installation doesn't work on multi-user computers

[Ten0]

Current Behavior

While attempting to install:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/tmp/nx-native-file-cache/7922ff398abcaa4ba02c132005c3f9a29c05714432c8da5d5607e32b0f2c7602'

This happens because the /tmp/nx-native-file-cache directory is owned by the first user that happens to have tried to install nx.

Expected Behavior

Doesn't use global static-path temporary files, thus allowing multiple users to have nx somewhere in their dependencies.
Also, one user shouldn't trust the file downloaded by another user, otherwise that would lead to privilege escalation security vulnerability (esp. since /tmp is world-writable), so the cache should not be shared between users.
Probably this can be fixed by appending the uid of the user to the path, or better yet storing to ~/.cache (if this is actually cache).

Steps to Reproduce

1. install the lib on one user
2. install the lib on another user
