The Pex CLI can consume alot of disk space in the process of downloading and installing wheels in PEX files. Although Pex does most of its work in the --pex-root, Pip subprocesses still do some of their heavy lifting in TMPDIR. This can be controlled by exporting TMPDIR but its not necessarily obvious to do this. It probably makes sense for Pex to add an option to control this or else default to using a TMPDIR in PEX_ROOT.

This allows for explicit control of the temporary directory both Pex
and its subprocesses use.

Fixes pex-tool#1067
