tests/test-subr.sh: Put test_dir under /var/tmp.
Every individual test in elfutils involves a temporary directory.
Previous version of this script put that directory under the build
tree. That's OK if it's a local disk, but if it's on NFS, then some
tests - run-large-elf-file.sh, several run-debuginfod-*.sh - take long
enough to run to fail tests intermittently.
This patch moves the temp_dir under ${TMPDIR-/var/tmp/}, so it
operates at local disk speed rather than whatever-build-filesystem
speed. Individual test scripts are all unaffected. (One could
consider /tmp instead, which is a RAM disk on modern systems, except
that some of the elfutils tests produce GB-sized temporary files.
That's probably too big for RAM.)
