atomictempfile: avoid infinite recursion in destructor.

This is a weird one: if Python sees that the caller is not passing the
right args to the constructor, it raises TypeError rather than enter
the constructor.  But it still ends up calling the destructor, which
assumes that self._fp has been set in the constructor.  But it hasn't,
because the constructor wasn't actually executed.  So we go into a
nasty infinite recursion between __del__() and __getattr__(), when we
should just crash with TypeError so the programmer can see what he did
wrong.
