/**
 * Opens stream backed by anonymous file, e.g.
 *
 *     FILE *f;
 *     if (!(f = tmpfile())) {
 *       perror("tmpfile");
 *       exit(1);
 *     }
 *     // do stuff
 *     fclose(f);
 *
 * This creates a secure temporary file inside $TMPDIR. If it isn't
 * defined, then /tmp is used on UNIX and GetTempPath() is used on the
 * New Technology. This resolution of $TMPDIR happens once in a ctor,
 * which is copied to the `kTmpDir` global.
 *
 * Once fclose() is called, the returned file is guaranteed to be
 * deleted automatically. On UNIX the file is unlink()'d before this
 * function returns. On the New Technology it happens upon fclose().
 *
 * On newer Linux only (c. 2013) it's possible to turn the anonymous
 * returned file back into a real file, by doing this:
 *
 *     linkat(AT_FDCWD, _gc(xasprintf("/proc/self/fd/%d", fileno(f))),
 *            AT_FDCWD, "real.txt", AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW)
 *
 * On the New Technology, temporary files created by this function
 * should have better performance, because `kNtFileAttributeTemporary`
 * asks the kernel to more aggressively cache and reduce i/o ops.
 *
 * Favor tmpfd() or tmpfile() over `open(O_TMPFILE)` because the latter
 * is Linux-only and will cause open() failures on all other platforms.
 *
 * @see tmpfd() if you don't want to link stdio/malloc
 * @raise ECANCELED if thread was cancelled in masked mode
 * @raise EINTR if signal was delivered
 * @cancellationpoint
 * @asyncsignalsafe
 * @threadsafe
 * @vforksafe
