Andrew Brooks 84fe75a12a Keep created temp dirs inside store, but protect from GC
Implements the approach suggested by feedback on PR #6994, where
tempdir paths are created in the store (now with an exclusive lock).

As part of this work, the currently-broken and unused
`createTempDirInStore` function is updated to create an exclusive lock
on the temp directory in the store.

The GC now makes a non-blocking attempt to lock any store directories
that "look like" the temp directories created by this function, and if
it can't acquire one, ignores the directory.
