Details:

This patch lets the user specify the temporary directory root:

  $ duplicity --tempdir=/var/tmp [...]

This option is necessary for restoring backups with large volumes when the
default temporary directory has quota or is otherwise constrained.

Additionally, this patch is a workaround for systems where the tempfile
module does not properly cleanup in a Linux tmpfs filesystem.

Setting --tempdir to the same filesystem as the target also improves IO
performance because the scratch files get rename'd into the target path.
