[vile] Temp files in spell filter

The spell filter currently creates temporary files in vile's current
directory. This fails in any case where the directory is not writable by
the user. I've attached a patch to make the filter try TMPDIR from the
environment and fall back to /tmp. I have not searched the rest of the
code for other places that this might be a problem.

Note: Since the value of an environment variable could be long enough
to overflow I made open_tempfile take the buffer size as well and use
snprintf.

(I am totally unclear on why the spell filter needs temp files, but hey,
I just wanted things to work so I could send an email... :-)
