Summary: Change gettempdirectory() back to /tmp and %TEMP% like it always was and where the tools expect it to be.

There is more information in the bug, but essentially changing gettempdirectory() to use java.io.tmpdir breaks a lot of things. open webrev at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coleenp/7009828/ bug link at http://bugs.sun.com/viewbug.do?bugid=7009828 Thanks, Coleen This looks okay to me but does mean we'll need to partially back-out 6950927 [1] from jdk7. I can do that for you. It will mean that the test sun/management/jmxremote/bootstrap/JvmstatCountersTest.java will fail until we meet up in a promoted build but I think we can live with that (or just add the @ignore until both changes come together).
