[Libguestfs] [PATCH] appliance: Make sure /tmp and /var/tmp are real directories.

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Currently if /tmp (on the host) is a symlink, then the symlink is
copied into the appliance, probably pointing to a non-existent
directory, and everything goes downhill from there.

Avoid this by making sure that /tmp and /var/tmp are real directories.
