We have many places in our tests where we create temporary directories,
which we later remove (most of the time). We have at least 3 helpers to
do this, and various places where it's done ad-hoc (and the cleanup is
not always present).
To try to reduce the clutter, and make the tests more uniform and
readable, this patch introduces two helpers in a new "testutil" package:
one for creating and one for removing temporary directories.
These new functions are safer, better tested, and make the tests more
consistent. All the tests are updated to use them.
