temp curr resolution: setting mktemp to use another dir

Closes #185.

Try was making way too many tempfiles. Now we store everything in the sandbox, with a tiny bit of nuance: $IGNORE_FILE needs to be created in advance to handle the args properly. So we create that temporary unconditionally. When running a command (the try() function), we'll move $IGNORE_FILE into the sandbox. When running try commit or try summary, we just delete $IGNORE_FILE at the end.

Why not allow this to work like -i, where you can specify multiple ignores on the command-line?

we can, they are just comma separated, which is easier to impl than allowing for -i to be called multiple times imo

Easier to implement doesn't carry much weight for me. It makes sense to use overlay's colon-separated stuff for lowerdirs, but the find and grep interfaces seem biased in favor of multiple invocations. Multiple flags also makes it easier to generate invocations---you don't have to group all of your ignores in one place.

What is the actual command that causes this failure?

temp curr resolution: setting mktemp to use another dir

Is this a 'resolution' or a workaround? Seems like a workaround.

If the failure is just when -E mentions a dir under /tmp, we should warn/error about this.
