elf: Ignore LD_PROFILE if LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT is not set (bug 33797)
The previous default for LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT, /var/tmp, is insecure
because it's typically a 1777 directory, and other systems could
place malicious files there which interfere with execution.
Requiring the user to specify a profiling directory mitigates
the impact of bug 33797. Clear LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT alongside
with LD_PROFILE.
Rework the test not to use predictable file names.
