After cd64dc42d1e1b03e57e6ba3d316e4f9dec52a78d, a significant percentage of the buildfarm got unhappy, because pg_basebackup chokes if it tries to create a tarfile with symlink more than 99 characters in length. To try to fix that problem, use tempdir_short instead of tempdir, as we do in pg_verifybackup's 003_corruption.pl. There's a more complicated workaround for the same issue in pg_basebackup's 010_pg_basebackup.pl, but I'm not clear whether there's any reason to do it that way here. For now, let's try this, to at least get the buildfarm green again. A better long-term fix would be to figure out how to generate tar files containing long symlinks, but that will have to wait for another time.
