Fix temporary directory computation on linux (pr25147)

Summary

On linux, the environment variables for temp directories that lldb checks for are generally not
defined, and the temp directory computation failed. This caused expression evaluation to fall
back to creating "/tmp/lldb-*.expr" debugging files instead of the usual
"$TMP/lldb/pid/lldb-*.expr". Crucially, these files were not cleaned up on lldb exit, which
caused clutter in the /tmp folder, especially on long-running machines (e.g. builtbots). This
commit fixes lldb to use llvm::sys::path::system_temp_directory, which does the same environment
variable dance, but (!) also falls back to the P_tmpdir macro, which is how the temp directory is
defined on linux.

Since the linux temp path computation now succeeds, I needed to also modify Android path
computation to check for actual directory existence, rather then checking whether the operation
failed.
