Introduce astcachedir, to be used for temporary bucket files

As described in the issue, /tmp is not a suitable location for a
large amount of cached media files, since most distributions make
/tmp a RAM-based tmpfs mount with limited capacity.

I opted for a location that can be configured separately, as opposed
to using a subdirectory of spooldir, given the different storage
profile (transient files vs files that might stay there indefinitely).

This commit just makes the cache directory configurable, but leaves
it at /tmp by default, to ensure backwards compatibility.

A future commit that only targets master could change the default
location to something more sensible such as /var/tmp/asterisk. At
that point, the cachedir could be created and cleaned up during
uninstall by the Makefile script.

Subject: Core
The location where the media cache stores its temporary files
is no longer hardcoded to /tmp but can now be configured separately
via the astcachedir config variable in asterisk.conf. To retain
backwards compatibility, the default location remains /tmp.
