This commit replaces ioutil.TempDir with t.TempDir in tests. The directory created by t.TempDir is automatically removed when the test and all its subtests complete. Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using ioutil.TempDir had to be removed manually by calling os.RemoveAll, which is omitted in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g. defer func() { if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } } is also tedious, but t.TempDir handles this for us nicely.
