node.py: use NODEDIR/tmp for the 'tempfile' module's temporary directory, so webapi upload tempfiles are put there instead of /tmp . You can set it to something else by setting [node]tempdir in tahoe.cfg

+ This specifies a temporary directory for the webapi server to use, for
+ holding large files while they are being uploaded. If a webapi client
+ attempts to upload a 10GB file, this tempdir will need to have at least 10GB
+ available for the upload to complete.
+
+ The default value is the "tmp" directory in the node's base directory (i.e.
+ $NODEDIR/tmp), but it can be placed elsewhere. This directory is used for
+ files that usually (on a unix system) go into /tmp . The string will be
+ interpreted relative to the node's base directory.
