Tails Installer logging location is unsafe

The way I understand the code, we’re logging to /tmp/liveusb-creator.log. That’s a well-known name in a world-writable location, so leaves room for some kinds of attacks e.g. arbitrary file modification. We should fix that before we upload this piece of software to Debian.
