Fixes a regression on OS X introduced by f83af95.
Don't use --tmpdir for mktemp, because that flag doesn't exist on OS X.
However, using -t is deprecated in GNU coreutils, so as suggested by
@ip1981 we're now using parameter expansion on ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} to
provide /tmp as a fallback if TMPDIR is not set and use it instead.
Also use this approach for nix-prefetch-cvs now in order to stay
consistent.

Instead of relying on $$ to not collide with an existing path.
Quoting the Bash manual about $$:
> Expands to the process ID of the shell. In a () subshell, it expands
> to the process ID of the current shell, not the subshell.
So, this is different from $BASHPID:
> Expands to the process ID of the current bash process. This differs
> from $$ under certain circumstances, such as subshells that do not
> require bash to be re-initialized.
But even $BASHPID is prone to race conditions if the process IDs wrap
around, so to be on the safe side, we're using mktemp here.
Closes#3784.

There was a few files containing timestamp, so we now remove them.
It shouldn't be a problem for logs. However, index might be. Anyway,
that's better than nothing.
If the user explictly gives a ref such as "refs/heads/master", `git
rev-parse` failed because we only checked out the `fetchgit`
branch. Now, we also try `git rev-parse fetchgit` if the first call
fails, which fixes the issue.
nix-prefetch-git does not convert relative submodule urls into absolute
urls based on the parent's origin. This patch adds support for
repositories which are using the relative url syntax.
The nix-prefect git script was broken when trying to parse certain
groups of submodules. This patch fixes the url detection for submodule
repositories to use the more reliable `git config` commands.
The `--depth' argument asks Git to fetch the last revisions of the given
repo on *any* branch, which is often useless.
Thanks to Lluís Battle for clarifying this.

I think it takes the recent N commits into the repository, which says very little,
even for wanting master/HEAD.
