xzdiff: Create a temporary directory to hold a temporary file.
This avoids the possibility of "File name too long" when creating a temp file when the input file name is very long. This also means that other users on the system can no longer see the input file names in /tmp (or whatever $TMPDIR is) since the temporary directory will have a generic name. This usually doesn't matter since on many systems one can see the arguments given to all processes anyway. The number X chars to mktemp where increased from 6 to 10. Note that with some shells temp files or dirs won't be used at all.
