fixme/tmp path & added onedir install for arch
21f6c98 
- /tmp/yay-bin was an artifact
  - replaced /tmp/yay-bin with /tmp/salt
- arch ships 3.14 which salt hasn't addressed
  - 3.14 removes spwd module
  - linux_shadow.py still imports spwd

Addressed @twangboy thank you. Corrected a bit to make things more readable -- and some noise introduced by source-control (vsc).
It was local. Did not mean to disregard CONTRIBUTING.md thank you very much for your patience with me
