Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
node-function-bind could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it ships test coverage information generated using the
run of the testsuite. These files in turn contain nondeterministic dates:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/nodejs/has/coverage/index.html
│ │ │ │                  Code coverage generated by
│ │ │ │                  <a href="https://istanbul.js.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">istanbul</a>
│ │ │ │ -                at Thu Apr 24 2025 09:17:32 GMT+0000 (GMT)
│ │ │ │ +                at Fri Mar 22 2024 02:58:54 GMT+0000 (GMT)

Patch attached that simply removes these files from the binary package.
