auto merge of #11215 : alexcrichton/rust/metadata-filename, r=pcwalton

Right now if you have concurrent builds of two libraries in the same directory
(such as rustc's bootstrapping process), it's possible that two libraries will
stomp over each others' metadata, producing corrupt rlibs.

By placing the metadata file in a tempdir we're guranteed to not conflict with
ay other builds happening concurrently. Normally this isn't a problem because
output filenames are scoped to the name of the crate, but metadata is special in
that it has the same name across all crates.
