tests: run the whole hg-core/path_auditor test in a clean temp dir

This makes the whole test happen in a clean temporary directory in
`$TMPDIR/$random`, and simplifies the test a bit by eliminating unnecessarily
dynamic path elements computations.

Before this patch, the first part of the test was happening in `/tmp` itself.
This allowed coincidentally named files placed in that directory to impact the
outcome of the test. Additionally, this made the second part of the test fail
on systems on which `$TMPDIR != /tmp`, because the inspected directory was
different from the one in which the mock files were being written. This fully
fixes the issue only partially solved in db2bc9e667a1.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11738

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
