Bug #15411: Enhance Tempfile docs

Several small style enhancements + I don't know why the "fake" docs for ::new were done this way, but they hid the mode: keyword argument, which once cost me several dozens of minutes to investigate.

Docs currently insist on this call-sequence:

new(basename = "", [tmpdir = Dir.tmpdir], [options])

...insisiting that it will pass all the options to File.new. So, when I wanted to pass mode for File, and ... well, it haven't ended well :)

So, I believe that it is better to represent actual call-sequence in the docs, and mention mode quirks.
