[chef] Setting alternative 'tmpdir' for latest mysql cookbook

[Nico Kadel-Garcia < >]

I'm using the latest mysql cookbook, and finding that on a thinly provisioned 
MySQL server with attached disk for MySQL, the "tmpdir" is hardcoded in 
/etc/mysql-default/my.cnf to be "/tmp". This is a problem.

I'm happy to insert values in an /etc/mysql-default/conf.d/tmpdir.cfg, but 
those can be obscure when people simply read /etc/my.cnf. Can I get any 
traction to make that a setting in the LWRP?
