[PATCH 3/8] libfile: implement make_temp

[Sascha Hauer]

Create a make_temp() function which creates a name for a temporary file.
Since we do not have any concurrency in barebox we do not need to create
the file right away and can leave that to the caller. Unlike unix
mktemp the resulting filename is dynamically allocated and must be
freed by the caller.
