Description

Please describe the issue and what steps we can take to reproduce it:
During restore of IPSW to a Mac in DFU mode, each restore can take up 15GB or more disk space. Our customers restore multiple images at once, and that can cause large amounts of cache files. There should be a preference to specify an alternate location for the cache files. Currently, we see cache files in :

1. anything in /tmp that starts with restore_bundle_
2. ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator.xpc.DeviceService/Data/tmp/TemporaryItems
3. folder named com.apple.configurator.xpc.DeviceService somewhere in /var/folders
