Hi,

some softwares, like borg backup, understand the CACHEDIR.TAG file to avoid handling / backuping files in the directory containing this file, maybe Matomo could put one in tmp/ (or the subdirectories) by default?

cat <<EOF >> tmp/CACHEDIR.TAG
Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55
# This file is a cache directory tag created by Matomo.
# For information about cache directory tags, see:

Add a CACHEDIR.TAG file to tmp/

Note that this does not handle cases where users delete the whole tmp/
directory. However, it is to be expected that users depending on
that file would take care not to delete it.

Fixes matomo-org#12754
