Updated doc to cover use of temp directory on remote (#4545)

docs about remote temp directory usage

Updated doc to cover use of temp directory on remote, in particular how to handle changing the directory used for systems such as QNAP with tiny default /tmp directories.

fixup by tw: do not mention specific brands, specific amounts

this is not QNAP specific, but may happen as well on other limited
systems. the amount of tmp files can also vary widely.
