Jon Simons cd2bf21f9a tests/pkd: support -L, --temp-dir=<mkdtemp-template>
Teach `pkd` a new flag `-L, --temp-dir=<mkdtemp-template>` to enable
behavior whereby `pkd` creates a new temporary directory and uses it
for a workspace while running.

The original design of `pkd` assumed that it could freely use the
current working directory from wherever it happened to be invoked.
But, this could pose a problem when multiple `pkd` instances are run
in parallel from the same working directory, due to the usage of
various temporary files within that directory.

To avoid the problem of multiple `pkd` instances interfering with
each other, expose a `-L` flag for optionally specifying a `mkdtemp`
template string such that a temporary scratch space is used instead.

Testing notes:
 - I ran handfuls of iterations locally using the new flag
   and observed `pkd` is indeed using scratch space as desired.
