Address two issues identified by Coverity Scan:
1. CID 550484 (TOCTOU): Remove access() check before realpath()
- realpath() already fails if file doesn't exist, making the
access() check redundant and introducing a TOCTOU race
- Simplifies code while improving security
2. CID 550483 (CHECKED_RETURN): Mark unchecked remove() calls
- Add (void) cast to two remove() calls to explicitly indicate
we don't care about the return value
- These are cleanup operations for temp files where failure
is acceptable, even expected
