[glib] g_get_tmp_dir(): Clean up envars

    g_get_tmp_dir(): Clean up envars
    
    On UNIX, we should only ever be looking at TMPDIR.
    
    On Windows, we should only ever look at TEMP.
    
    Also, clean up the documentation to better describe what is actually
    happening.  The previous docs may have left someone confused about why
    this function returns "/var/tmp" on Solaris, even with no TMPDIR set.

  * g_get_tmp_dir:
  *
- * Gets the directory to use for temporary files. This is found from 
- * inspecting the environment variables <envar>TMPDIR</envar>, 
- * <envar>TMP</envar>, and <envar>TEMP</envar> in that order. If none 
- * of those are defined "/tmp" is returned on UNIX and "C:\" on Windows. 
- * The encoding of the returned string is system-defined. On Windows, 
- * it is always UTF-8. The return value is never %NULL or the empty string.
+ * Gets the directory to use for temporary files.
+ *
+ * On UNIX, this is taken from the <envar>TMPDIR</envar> environment
+ * variable.  If the variable is not set, <literal>P_tmpdir</literal> is
+ * used, as defined by the system C library.  Failing that, a hard-coded
+ * default of "/tmp" is returned.
+ *
+ * On Windows, the <envar>TEMP</envar> environment variable is used,
+ * with the root directory of the Windows installation (eg: "C:\") used
+ * as a default.
+ *
+ * The encoding of the returned string is system-defined. On Windows, it
+ * is always UTF-8. The return value is never %NULL or the empty string.

  * Returns: the directory to use for temporary files.
