clientupdate: fix background install for linux tarballs (#9852)

Two bug fixes:
1. when tailscale update is executed as root, `os.UserCacheDir` may
   return an error because `$XDG_CACHE_HOME` and `$HOME` are not set;
   fallback to `os.TempDir` in those cases
2. on some weird distros (like my EndeavourOS), `/usr/sbin` is just a
   symlink to `/usr/bin`; when we resolve `tailscale` binary path from
   `tailscaled`, allow `tailscaled` to be in either directory
