build-support: Use mktemp -d in nix-prefetch-*. 
Instead of relying on $$ to not collide with an existing path.

Quoting the Bash manual about $$:

> Expands to the process ID of the shell. In a () subshell, it expands
> to the process ID of the current shell, not the subshell.

So, this is different from $BASHPID:

> Expands to the process ID of the current bash process. This differs
> from $$ under certain circumstances, such as subshells that do not
> require bash to be re-initialized.

But even $BASHPID is prone to race conditions if the process IDs wrap
around, so to be on the safe side, we're using mktemp here.

Closes #3784.
