  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.
