>Summary: Add tempname subcommand to file command

Initial Comment:
This patch adds a new tempname subcommand to the file command.

The patch changes generic/tclCmdAH.c and generic/tclFCmd.c, adding a new command and function, which essentially calls the ANSI function tmpnam().

Changes to the file.n man page and test suite are included.

The Linux Programmer's Manual (Linux man pages) isn't very flattering towards tmpnam().  It basically says to use mkstemp() instead, but that function is POSIX instead of ANSI C.
