Wouldn't it make more sense to start collecting troubleshooting advice in
src/test/perl/README and instead refer to that in the boilerplate?  I notice
that we don't document for example PG_TEST_NOCLEAN anywhere (which admittedly
is my fault), a trubleshooting section in that file would be a good fit.
