Description of problem:
Manifest refresh randomly fails on a Satellite with multiple dynflow workers with error:

Error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /tmp/0.7851943882678857.zip

The reason is tricky :
- ManifestRefresh task determines filename for the new manifest file as /tmp/#{rand}.zip
- UpstreamExport dynflow step is asked to export the new manifest to that file
- subsequent Import dynflow step is asked to read the file and process the update further

The dynflow steps can be processed by different dynflow workers, which are run as different systemd services. And sadly for us, the services use their own private temp directory like:

/tmp/systemd-private-4f8b157ce7c040f4b27e7ecbba68aa22-dynflow-sidekiq@worker-3.service-Uannn5/tmp/

So, when UpstreamExport step is executed by one dynflow worker, it puts the zip file to its own private temp. And if we are unlucky, the Import step is picked by another worker that misses the file in its own private temp /o\ .

Which means, having 3 dynflow workers, there is just 1/3 probability the manifest refresh succeeds.

We need to use static/shared tmp file instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat 6.10.5

How reproducible:
2/3 when having 3 dynflow workers

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up Satellite with 3 dynflow workers, e.g. per https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5695311
2. Import a manifest
3. Repeatedly refresh it:
hammer subscription refresh-manifest --organization-id=1

Actual results:
3. randomly fails with error:
Error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /tmp/0.7851943882678857.zip

in such a case, the zip file can be spot under a private temp dir of a worker's service, like:
/tmp/systemd-private-4f8b157ce7c040f4b27e7ecbba68aa22-dynflow-sidekiq@worker-3.service-Uannn5/tmp/0.7851943882678857.zip

Expected results:
manifest refresh to always succeed
