Description

All LevelDBStateTest tests write to the current directory. This is bad for a number of reasons, e.g.,

• should the test fail data might be leaked to random locations,
• the test cannot be executed from a write-only directory, or
• executing tests from the same suite in parallel (e.g., with gtest-parallel would race on the existence of the created files, and show bogus behavior.

The tests should probably be executed from a temporary directory, e.g., via stout's TemporaryDirectoryTest fixture.
