Add build-dir setting, clean up default TMPDIR handling
This is a squash of upstream PRs #10303, #10312 and #10883.
fix: Treat empty TMPDIR as unset
Fixes an instance of
nix: src/libutil/util.cc:139: nix::Path nix::canonPath(PathView, bool): Assertion `path != ""' failed.
... which I've been getting in one of my shells for some reason.
I have yet to find out why TMPDIR was empty, but it's no reason for
Nix to break.
(cherry picked from commit c3fb2aa1f9d1fa756dac38d3588c836c5a5395dc)
fix: Treat empty XDG_RUNTIME_DIR as unset
See preceding commit. Not observed in the wild, but is sensible
and consistent with TMPDIR behavior.
