`makeUnsafeTemporaryFilename` overloads

== Synopses

Declared in `<bdls_filesystemutil.h>`

Construct a file name by appending an automatically‐generated suffix to the specified `prefix`. The file name constructed is assigned to the specified `outPath`. Note that this function is called "unsafe" because a file with the resulting name may be created by another program before the caller has opportunity to use the name, which could be a security vulnerability, and a file with the given name may already exist where you mean to put it. Note that the suffix is hashed from environmental details, including any pre‐existing value of `outPath` so that if a resulting name is unsuitable (e.g. the file exists) this function may simply be called again, pointing to its previous result, to get a new, probably different name.
