Currently, pytest always deletes temp directories made with the tmpdir or tmp_path fixture, and always keeps the latest three.

I run tox, which runs 20 pytest invocations. Occasionally I would like to be able to keep all of the temp dirs from these runs. One workaround is to define --basetemp to be the tox temp directory. But the parameters of temp cleanup seems like an obvious thing to make configurable.

FYI: PR #10442 (issue #8141) added tmp_path retention finetuning options as defined in #8141 (comment)

This feature is however not yet in a released version as far as I can see (latest release is 7.2.2 atm)
