Description : Expose PL_dirty, the flag which marks global destruction

Perl's global destruction is a little tricky to deal with WRT finalizers
because it's not ordered and objects can sometimes disappear.
.
Writing defensive destructors is hard and annoying, and usually if global
destruction is happenning you only need the destructors that free up non
process local resources to actually execute.
.
For these constructors you can avoid the mess by simply bailing out if global
destruction is in effect.
