Use better temporary files mechanism in install_unpacked_wheel

See original GitHub issue

install_unpacked_wheel creates files such as INSTALLER or RECORD with a .pip extension then renames them to the intended file in order to have an atomic file creation.

Example: https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/9e24b58f3cb656e96bcf143c7bc16affe7fea5eb/src/pip/_internal/operations/install/wheel.py#L589-L603

The goal of this issue is to use a better and safer approach.
