Yes. I'd prefer that lib/raster continues to create the file on the
same filesystem as the mapset and atomically rename()s it into place.

IOW, the new tempfile behaviour needs to be availble in addition to
the long-standing behaviour, not a replacement for it.

Whether G_tempfile() itself has the old behaviour or the new behaviour
isn't important. Given that most users of G_tempfile() don't care
where the tempfile goes, making G_tempfile() have the new behaviour
and using a different name for what lib/raster needs is probably less
work.
