tempname vs. tmpnam

[Rik]

All,

I checked in a changeset which moves all of core Octave to using tempname
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/6ca096827123).

It doesn't actually deprecate tmpnam, but it removes it from seealso links
in the documentation and from the manual.  If you type 'help tmpnam' it
returns a help string which mentions that tempname is preferred in new code.

Eventually we may fully deprecate it, but not for a while.

Cheers,
Rik
