feature request: use original file suffix in temp files

I'm using importlib_resources.path to get a real path to resource (e.g. a settings file foobar.json or foobar.yaml). When using this from a wheel, the path is something like /tmp/tmp163kokqj, which makes it hard to detect what format the file is.

It would be handy if the temp file had at least the same extension as the original file.

Agree this would be useful. It should be applied to the as_file functionality in the new, preferred API. Would you consider drafting the feature?

sure, see !94 (merged)

Note: instead of just file extension as I suggested originally, I use the full filename as suffix of the tempfile, which is easier and probably more useful too
