Rafael Espindola 8e7294f995 Improvements to unique_file and createUniqueDirectory.
* Don't try to create parent directories in unique_file. It had two problem:
   * It violates the contract that it is atomic. If the directory creation
     success and the file creation fails, we would return an error but the
     file system was modified.
   * When creating a temporary file clang would have to first check if the
     parent directory existed or not to avoid creating one when it was not
     supposed to.

* More efficient implementations of createUniqueDirectory and the unique_file
  that produces only the file name. Now all 3 just call into a static
  function passing what they want (name, file or directory).

Clang also has to be updated, so tests might fail if a bot picks up this commit
and not the corresponding clang one.

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
===========================

This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
structure underneath this directory could look like this:

Unix           - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
  Posix        - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
  SUS          - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
  SysV         - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX

As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
