/tmp is not writable on most systems, so just use /dev to create a
temporary node. If called from a udev rule, "-d $tempnode" should be
used and udev will create a temporary node and pass the name before
calling scsi_id.
Also remove gen_scsi_id_udev_rules.sh per Patrick's request, as it's
no longer needed with the persistent disk links.

This patch is to enable the use of scsi_id to derive a UID for a SCSI-2
device which is not compliant with the page 83 inquiry reply format for
either SPC-2 or SPC-3. In this case, the page 83 reply does not
contain a list of Identification descriptors but a single binary encoded
hexa-decimal Vendor Specified Identifier.
The update is being driven by the need for scsi_id to support older
model EMC Symmetrix hardware, that is, models 4, 5, and 6.
Changes to scsi_id to support the udev %N and %p substitutions:
- Update version from .7 to .8
- change TMP_DIR back to /tmp
- if DEVPATH is set assume hotplug_mode (use syslog for logging, and does
not output some warnings)
- Always output a newline after the id is printed
- Allow command line options to override settings when hotplug_mode is set
- update man page
- update generator script to use the %N and %p substitutions.
