Override temporary directory before spawning subprocess.

Python multiprocessing is using sockets to communicate. UNIX socket names are
bound by PATH_MAX which includes temporary directory name.

gsutil uses multiprocessing, which creates file sockets in the tmpdir.
On some testing configurations, the tmpdir is set to a very long path, which
causes gsutil to fail with AF_UNIX path too long errors.

To prevent multiprocess failures, this CL overrides temporary directory
dictated by the environment to /tmp.
