fs: add the fs.mkdtemp() function.

This uses libuv's mkdtemp function to provide a way to create a
temporary folder, using a prefix as the path. The prefix is appended
six random characters. The callback function will receive the name
of the folder that was created.

Usage example:

fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-', function(err, folder) {
    console.log(folder);
        // Prints: /tmp/foo-Tedi42
});

The fs.mkdtempSync version is also provided. Usage example:

console.log(fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-'));
    // Prints: tmp/foo-Tedi42

This pull request also includes the relevant documentation changes
and tests.

+Creates a unique temporary directory.
+
+Generates six random characters to be appended behind a required
+`prefix` to create a unique temporary directory.
+
+The created folder path is passed as a string to the callback's second
+parameter.
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-', (err, folder) => {

+    // Prints: /tmp/foo-itXde2

+The synchronous version of [`fs.mkdtemp()`][]. Returns the created
+folder path.
