A bug has been fixed in 3.12 wheremkdtemp does not return an absolute path if a relative path is supplied to thedir argument (#94612). However, the bugfix is not suitable to be backported, meaning the bug will not be fixed in the 3.11 branch and lower.

We should note the existing behaviour in the docs for the 3.11 branch, so that users are not misinformed about what will happen when the function is called.

Closes#51574

Issue:tempfile.mkdtemp() does not return absolute pathname when relative dir is specified #51574

In the docs for 3.12, should we add "Changed in version 3.12: the return value is always an absolute path, even if dir is relative"? Would that be a separate PR?

The note has already been added to the docs for 3.12 as part of#94612: seehttps://github.com/python/cpython/pull/94612/files#diff-cd9226095497c724772acabf76ce71e39ae2d6ae5cee2a27c9ba22ac541b2f1eR295-R297

The online docs have yet to be updated; they're built every few hours, I think.
