This utility wasn't very related to all other utilities in pkg/ioutils. Moving it to longpath to also make it more clear what it does. It looks like there's only a single (public) external consumer of this utility, and only used in a test, and it's not 100% clear if it was intentional to use our package, of if it was a case of "I actually meant `io/ioutil.MkdirTemp`" so we could consider skipping the alias. While moving the package, I also renamed `TempDir` to `MkdirTemp`, which is the signature it matches in "os" from stdlib. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl> |

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the moby core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible. If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the Moby organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
