Make pg_basebackup use temporary replication slots

Temporary replication slots will be used by default when wal streaming
is used and no slot name is specified with -S. If a slot name is
specified, then a permanent slot with that name is used. If --no-slot is
specified, then no permanent or temporary slot will be used.

Temporary slots are only used on 10.0 and newer, of course.
