No functional change.
This will make it easier to switch the tool (without recompiling
vm-file-editor), or even use differrent tools depending on some
conditions.

This avoids the possibility that incoming files may match
an existing file in /tmp (whether from the target VM, or a
third VM that's also sent a file for editing), as well as
possible file leaks between domains.
If we're being sent something without a zero byte, we
could happily read off the end of the buffer. Interestingly,
the write part was checking for the max bound.
MIME-info database contains multiple entries for *.png, namely image/png
and image/x-apple-ios-png. The later one doesn't have associated handler
program, but this one is selected by mimeopen tool.
Not sure how this tool should behave in case of multiple matches (IOW is
it a bug in File::MimeInfo perl module used by mimeopen). Instead of
switching to different tool, which probably will break other files
(check #423), add override for this particular file type.
