This breaks... a lot of things... once you start asserting that dirsvc use should be mainthread only.

Note that this code asserts it gets run in the parent process, so we can be sure that we never
want the content process sandbox-accessible dir or similar (though tbf, that seems odd given
we have DOM machinery to proxy from the child to here... but that's what happens today).
This will start using the actual temp dir even in the case of e.g. xpcshell, which normally
dependency-injects a different (also temp) dir and reuses it as the profile as well as temp
dir ( https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/03853a6e87c4a9405fce1de49e5d03b9e7a7a274/testing/xpcshell/head.js#1207-1226 )
if and only if anything calls do_get_profile .
I think this is likely OK... but if not, we'll have to come up with a more complicated
solution...
