Lorax is a set of tools used to create bootable images.
At least in our CI, the default place to store VM runtime overlays
(testvm.get_temp_dir()) points to a tmpfs file, so that tests can put VM
overlays into RAM and are not affected by slow I/O. But that doesn't
work for composer, as it tends to produce huge overlays due to real-life
OS composed trees.
Use /var/tmp/ instead, which is meant for large files.
Also simplify the VirtMachine invocation -- if `identity_file` is None,
that's fine -- it's the default value of that argument anyway.
