upgrade.sh should have a preflight to validate proper ownership of directory and files in /tmp
I have an instance that I created with the helix installer. I initially installed r21.1. I tried to upgrade to r21.2 and it failed to start the service. I later discovered that if I set the ownership of /tmp to be perforce:perforce the upgrade would work.

- 2022-02-06 tom_tyler: Changed Severity from A to C as confirming root ownership
of /tmp is (arguably) outside the scope of this script. Root ownership of /tmp is a
general UNIX/Linux issue and will destabilize the machine. That said, the test would
not be hard to code. - Component
