QTemporaryFile: Add support for Linux's O_TMPFILE
That means a file is never created, unless you ask for the name. There's no chance of left-over temporary files being left behind. QSaveFile also benefits from this, since the save file is not present on disk until commit(). Unfortunately, QSaveFile must go through a temporary name because linkat(2) cannot overwrite -- we need rename(2) for that (for now). [ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes][QTemporaryFile] On Linux, QTemporaryFile will attempt to create unnamed temporary files. If that succeeds, open() will return true but exists() will be false. If you call fileName() or any function that calls it, QTemporaryFile will give the file a name, so most applications will not see a difference.
