Fixed:

- Added a testcase to test_tempfile.py to catch the bug
- Fixed mkstemp() to return absolute pathname

Bug description:

The document of tempfile.mkstemp says that,
"mkstemp() returns a tuple containing an OS-level
handle to an open file (as would be returned by
os.open()) and the absolute pathname of that file,
in that order."

However, if you specify the directory as relative path,
it doesn't return an absolute pathname.

Thanks for the patch. Applied as

tempfile.py 1.57
test_tempfile.py 1.15
NEWS 1.868

I did not back-port it to 2.3, as it may cause an
incompatibility, in case applications where expecting to get
back a relative path.
