Use $RUNNER_TEMP when TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE not in use

If you don't specify the TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, the default config is written to $HOME directory, which could theoretically be shared by multiple runners when using self-hosted runners. When TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE is _not_ in use, I replaced the usage of $HOME with the directory $RUNNER_TEMP, whose setup/cleanup is managed by the runner framework and exported a TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE.
