Subject: Replace TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY with SCRATCH_DIRECTORY

Avoid using the terminology "TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY" which encourages use
of the shared global mutable state in /tmp, that we want to move away
from. Instead, we use "SCRATCH_DIRECTORY" which is an explicit
specified directory for state needed for and by the gn-uploader
application.
