HighMerge Without ReviewYes (Sonar)

This codemod acts upon the following Sonar rules: python:S5445.

This codemod replaces all tempfile.mktemp calls to the more secure tempfile.mkstemp.

The Python tempfile documentation is explicit that tempfile.mktemp should be deprecated to avoid an unsafe and unexpected race condition. The changes from this codemod look like this:

  import tempfile
- tempfile.mktemp(...)
+ tempfile.mkstemp(...)
