    Set up /var/run/nfv-vim as vim's default temp files location

    nfv vim call the k8s python client to perform a number of
    operations. The k8s python client creates temp files under /tmp and
    continues use these tmp files for the life-cycle of the processes.

    However systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service will run every day to clean up
    files in /tmp dir that are older than 10 days. If the k8s client code
    is not triggered for more than 10 days (thus its temp files are not
    accessed for more than 10 days), these temp files will be removed as
    part of the cleanup. Certain vim operations then starts to fail
    with an error that the tmp file is no longer there.

    This is a known issue of kubernetes python client:
    https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/issues/765

    The commit fixes this issue by setting TMPDIR to /var/run/nfv-vim
    when sm starts vim.
