vcs-svn: teach line_buffer about temporary files

It can sometimes be useful to write information temporarily to file,
to read back later.  These functions allow a program to use the
line_buffer facilities when doing so.

It works like this:

 1. find a unique filename with buffer_tmpfile_init.
 2. rewind with buffer_tmpfile_rewind.  This returns a stdio
    handle for writing.
 3. when finished writing, declare so with
    buffer_tmpfile_prepare_to_read.  The return value indicates
    how many bytes were written.
 4. read whatever portion of the file is needed.
 5. if finished, remove the temporary file with buffer_deinit.
    otherwise, go back to step 2,

The svn support would use this to buffer the postimage from delta
application until the length is known and fast-import can receive
the resulting blob.
