Tempfile reuse was over-engineered and the problem was not
nearly as big a problem as initially thought.

Additionally, it could lead to a subtle bug in an applications
that link(2)s or rename(2)s the temporary file to a permanent
location _without_ closing it after the request is done.
Applications that suffer from the problem of directory bloat are
still free to modify ENV['TMPDIR'] to influence the creation of
Tempfiles.
