createhdds: use a temp file for virt-builder image creation

Summary:
Creating the virt-builder images directly with their final file
name means that if we're rebuilding them for age and the build
fails, we'll lose the existing image: it seems better to keep
it than have no image at all, when this happens. It also means
that while the rebuild is in process, the file might exist but
be useless and cause any tests that happen to be running at the
time to fail. So just like the guestfs images, create the file
with a .tmp extension initially and rename it after a successful
build.

Test Plan:
Do some image builds and check they work, check that
temp file is cleaned up on failure and ctrl-c if you can...
