Description

### Description of the bug:

Many of Bazel's own integration tests fail locally on Linux with an error such as the following:
```
src/main/tools/linux-sandbox-pid1.cc:280: "The sandbox working directory cannot be below a path where we mount tmpfs (you requested mounting /tmp/bazel-working-directory/_main/_tmp/74701f16efd616fedbad9bb8b36df803/root/0a1489a1de031466aaaf200f31c5b29b/sandbox/linux-sandbox/1/execroot/_main in /tmp). Is your --output_base= below one of your --sandbox_tmpfs_path values?": Invalid argument
```

This appears to be due to a combination of the outer Bazel process now running with `--incompatible_sandbox_hermetic_tmp` and the inner Bazel process running with `--sandbox_tmpfs_path=/tmp` due to
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/055e25b75c74d1e2c4c71694a938b6456323facc/src/test/shell/testenv.sh.tmpl#L261
