Code Issues Proposed changes

Default temporary directory to $HOME/.gerritcodereview/tmp

Browse Source 
Some operating system distributions include a cron script which
cleans /tmp by unlinking any files not modified in the past 7 days.
This can kill a running Gerrit server by deleting its JAR files,
preventing it from lazily-loading any code after the unlink occurs.

Work around this by unpacking our JARs into a directory below the
user's home directory.  This matches the behavior of Hudson CI,
which also suffered from having their JARs disappear at runtime
due to these automatic /tmp cleaning scripts.
