    test-skeleton: Support temporary files without memory leaks [BZ#18333]
    
    add_temp_file now makes a copy which is freed by delete_temp_files.
    Callers to create_temp_file can now free the returned file name to
    avoid the memory leak.  These changes do not affect the leak behavior
    of existing code.

    Also address a NULL pointer derefence in tzset after a memory allocation
    failure, found during testing.
