test: use TEST_TMPDIR as fallback for E2E temporary directory

Use Bazel's TEST_TMPDIR when E2E_TEMP is not set so that E2E projects and package caches are created on the main disk inside the Bazel test sandbox rather than /tmp (which is a quota-limited tmpfs on ubuntu-26.04). This also allows reverting E2E CI jobs back to ubuntu-latest.
