I happened to notice that the new test case I added in b55b4dad
falls over if one runs "make check" repeatedly; though not in branches
after v10.  That's because it was assuming that tmp_check/pgpass
wouldn't exist already.  However, it's only been since v11 that the
Makefiles forcibly remove all of tmp_check/ before starting a TAP run.
This fix to unlink the file is therefore strictly necessary only in
v10 ... but it seems wisest to do it across the board, rather than
let the test rely on external logic to get the conditions right.
