Use shorter location for pg_replslot in pg_basebackup test

adunstan · adunstan · commit e213de8e785a · 2023-07-08T11:48:06.000-04:00
The symlink to a longer location tripped up some Windows limit on
buildfarm animal fairywren when running with meson, which uses slightly
longer paths.

Backpatch to release 14 to keep the script in sync. Before that the
script skipped all symlink related tests on Windows.
