 Make System.IO.openTempFile thread-safe on Windows

 This calls out to the Win32 API `GetTempFileName` to generate
 a temporary file. Using `uUnique = 0` guarantees that the file
 we get back is unique and the file is "reserved" by creating it.

 Test Plan:
 ./validate

 I can't think of any sensible tests that shouldn't run for a while
 to verify. So the example in #10731 was ran for a while and no
 collisions in new code
