[GRASS5] vector maps: use .tmp directory, then final directory

Hi,

can we change the vector library to first write into
the .tmp directory (as done for raster data) and then
copy into the target directory within vector/?
Like this we also had the "transactional" file management.

Currently, if a vector command fails (crash, connection to
remote machine fails, disk full or other problems), it leaves
corrupted files which appear to be a valid vector map.
