test: add and use tmpdir.hasEnoughSpace()

In general, we assume that the tmpdir will provide sufficient space for
most tests. Some tests, however, require hundreds of megabytes or even
gigabytes of space, which often causes them to fail, especially on our
macOS infrastructure. The most recent reliability report contains more
than 20 related CI failures.

This change adds a new function hasEnoughSpace() to the tmpdir module
that uses statfsSync() to guess whether allocating a certain amount of
space within the temporary directory will succeed.

This change also updates the most frequently failing tests to use the
new function such that the relevant parts of the tests are skipped if
tmpdir has insufficient space.

+Returns `true` if the available blocks of the file system underlying `path`

+files, but it is inaccurate and susceptible to race conditions.
