Hello,

I was running the test_pg_dump extension suite, and I got annoyed that
I couldn't keep it from deleting its dump artifacts after a successful
run. Here's a patch to make use of PG_TEST_NOCLEAN (which currently
covers the test cluster's base directory) with the Test::Utils
tempdirs too.

(Looks like this idea was also discussed last year [1]; let me know if
I missed any more recent suggestions.)

Thanks,
--Jacob
