Blacklistupdate.pl temp directory.

I highly recommend that the directory that the blacklists are downloaded 
to and remain while the databases are built is /tmp since that one is 
TMPFS on all IPCop installations thus running the database building in 
ram. Otherwise on flash installations it thrashes the flash drive for 45 
minutes. In TMPFS the same work can be done in a few minutes and then 
copied to /var. One IPCop 1.4.21 running URLfilter, I found making that 
change to be absolutely necessary on flash installs.

Suggested is to change line 35 from: my $target = 
"/var/ipcop/proxy/download";
To: my $target = "/tmp";

I reiterate that there is no compelling reason to build the db files on 
a hard drive.
