Document PG_TEST_NOCLEAN in TAP test README
Commit 90627cf98 added support for retaining the data directory even on
successful tests, but failed to document the environment variable which
controls retention. This adds a small note to the TAP test README about
PG_TEST_NOCLEAN which when set skips removing the data directories from
successful tests.
