ScanManifest_(timestamp).json file collision #495

We like this idea, but we are not going to action on it in the moment
The Microsoft.ManifestTool tool generates a temporary file in a shared directory, with apparently nothing but a timestamp to make it unique. But when msbuild builds a multi-targeting project, both projects may invoke the tool concurrently, and the timestamp can actually collide:
This breaks the build.
Please add more entropy to the filename, or allow a command line switch to specify a directory that is safely isolated from concurrent builds, and I'll happily provide that location.
