SlippyMapTileViewer - permission problem with temporary directories

[osm@…]

JOSM apparently creates temporary directories where it wants to store
private data. These directories have a system-wide name, so the first
user within a system to run JOSM creates them. Subsequently, when a
different user runs JOSM, it fails to use these directories:

This is a problem of the SlippyMapChooser tile viewer code which is not directly part of JOSM.

I changed the default path where JMapViewer places it's tile disk cache: added user name.
Hence on Linux the default temp path changes to

/tmp/JMapViewerTiles_$username$
