tests: use TESTTMP instead of TESTDIR In 57d0c8c3b947, f042d4b263f4, 1e686e55780c, and 5d22cadd1938, new tests were added that used TESTDIR instead of TESTTMP thereby leading to polluting the working directory with these temporary files. Now, we use TESTTMP so that they will be cleaned up properly.
