This is useful when running tools like NixOps or nix-review
on workstations where the upload to the builder is significantly
slower then downloading the source on the builder itself.
Deprecation warnings should not be used in Nixpkgs because they spam
innocent "nix-env -qa" users with (in this case) dozens of messages
that they can't do anything about.
This also reverts commit 2ca883338389b7ab995924a0cab0211993bdf1da.
Fixes a regression on OS X introduced by f83af95.
Don't use --tmpdir for mktemp, because that flag doesn't exist on OS X.
However, using -t is deprecated in GNU coreutils, so as suggested by
@ip1981 we're now using parameter expansion on ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} to
provide /tmp as a fallback if TMPDIR is not set and use it instead.
Also use this approach for nix-prefetch-cvs now in order to stay
consistent.

Instead of relying on $$ to not collide with an existing path.
Quoting the Bash manual about $$:
> Expands to the process ID of the shell. In a () subshell, it expands
> to the process ID of the current shell, not the subshell.
So, this is different from $BASHPID:
> Expands to the process ID of the current bash process. This differs
> from $$ under certain circumstances, such as subshells that do not
> require bash to be re-initialized.
But even $BASHPID is prone to race conditions if the process IDs wrap
around, so to be on the safe side, we're using mktemp here.
Closes#3784.
