mkinitramfs.8: Add information about $TMPDIR environment variable

Browse Source 
This documents problem with noexec mount options and fixes:

BTW: The information about mkinitramfs looking at $TMPDIR is missing in
the mkinitramfs(8) man page. Looked there (mostly for commandline
options) before reporting that bug. But even searching for "TMP" in
there now didn't find any hint on that.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.B mkinitramfs
honours the
.B TMPDIR
environment variable. If set, it uses subdirectories in the given
directory to create its temporary working directories. Else it uses
.I /tmp
as default value for that purpose. The given directory should be on a
filesystem which allows the execution of files stored there, i.e.
should not be mounted with the
.B noexec
mount option.
