(SE) Temporary folder handling

[Dooruk]

There are certain codetests that create templated YAMLs in /tmp, see below:

swell/src/swell/utilities/scripts/task_question_dicts.py

Line 144 in dae29b4

destination_yaml_temp = os.path.join('/tmp', f'task_questions_{random_string}.yaml')

This location is not reliably erased and NCCS doesn't want us to fill this up so we should have a better temporary file handling.

For codestests;
if everything works fine, they can be deleted.
in case of an error, they should be kept until the user no longer needs them, which could be when the terminal is closed?

Also somewhat relevant discussion in the GEOSgcm context:

GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm#814

If nothing else, that code fragment should probably use the tempfile module which is the more Pythonic way of handling temporary files.

Of course, even that uses TMPDIR so we'd want to make sure TMPDIR was not /tmp.

This was addressed by #436 right? TMPDIR should be cleared at job close/exit. I believe that's the only instance of this
