luci-mod-status: should not use /var/lib/luci-bwc but /tmp/luci-bwc

Is there an existing issue for this?

Actual behaviour

Luci-bwc stores data in /var/lib/luci-bwc. Some users prefer a permanent /var. That's usually on a USB stick or router's flash. Writing there increases wear.

Expected behaviour

Luci-bwc should write to /tmp/luci-bwc instead.

Steps to reproduce

No need.

Reasonable, although it won't survive reboots. @jow- ?

M95D commented 1 day ago

What reason is there for it to survive reboots? In fact, why not clear it when luci-bwc exits? It would free tmpfs memory.
