To launch a VM, we need to create basically two files: the monitor
socket (if it's a UNIX socket) and the qemu log file.

For the qemu log file, we currently just open the path, which will
create the file if it does not exist or overwrite the file if it does
exist.

For the monitor socket, if it already exists, we are currently removing
it, even if it's not created by us.

This patch moves to _pre_launch() the responsibility to create a
temporary directory to host the files so we can remove the whole
directory on _post_shutdown().

Hi Amador,

First of all, sorry for reviewing this so late.

Won't this break QEMUMachine(..., monitor_addres='/some/unix/path')?

What about checking if self._monitor_address is None instead?

The rest looks good to me.
