Fix FileUtlTest.GetTempDir failure when run as root
Testing /usr as TMPDIR assumes that GetTempDir() cannot use it because it cannot write to it; this is true for non-root users, but not so much for root. Since root can access everything, perform this particular test case only when not running as root. Closes: #808383
