/* Generate a temporary file name based on TMPL.  TMPL must match the
   rules for mk[s]temp (i.e. end in "XXXXXX", possibly with a suffix).
   The name constructed does not exist at the time of the call to
   gen_tempname.  TMPL is overwritten with the result.

   KIND may be one of:
   GT_NOCREATE:         simply verify that the name does not exist
                        at the time of the call.
   GT_FILE:             create a large file using open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL)
                        and return a read-write fd.  The file is mode 0600.
   GT_DIR:              create a directory, which will be mode 0700.

   We use a clever algorithm to get hard-to-predict names. */
