add suffix kwarg to tempname (#53474)

`tempname` checks that the name its returning is not already a file,
however if you want that filename to contain other information, like a
file extension, that can mean the uniquing isn't complete.

This adds `tempname(suffix = "_foo.txt")` to include a suffix in the
name and uniquing check.
