3c4fed097d fileutils: xmkstemp() interface change
We can not let the user control where TMPDIR is for this tempfile.
This will be where we write the updated passwd file, and must be
capable of being moved atomically with rename(2).  Therefore, it
cannot be on a different device, or setpwnam() and vipw/vigr programs
will invariably fail with EXDEV.

Let developer to choose, case by case, what sort of return value is

descriptor as return value of the function, xfmkstemp() will return
FILE pointer.
