As I understand the code, the directory this function creates was
created at to fine a level - at the level of individual tests.  I needed
an intermediate level that could be not be specified on the command
line, but which I could delete.  I was feeling quite paranoid about
running a deltree over something we didn't create, but too many places
called torture_temp_dir() to try and clean them up individually.

The big problem was leaving around multi-megabyte provision
directories.
