Enable an optional tmpdir for fs.resize2fs()

During image resizing or minimizing, the output from e2image in fs.resize2fs() is hardcoded to go to /tmp.

This can strain the resources of a LiveOSystem, where /tmp is on a tmpfs.

A clone option is being added to edit-livecd.py (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448030#c27), where this feature will be significant for resource-limited Sugar on a Stick installations.

The tmpdir.patch, attached, has only been tested in the cloning code path of edit-liveos.py to remove the bind mount of /tmp onto an attached disc.
