Bug#1071064: tkgate: please make the build reproducible

Source: tkgate
Version: 2.1+repack-6

Hi,

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

This is because the binary package ships test output that varies in
a nondeterministic manner. For example:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/doc/tkgate-data/examples/verga/probe1.out
│ │ │ │┄ Ordering differences only
│ │ │ │ @@ -1,9 +1,9 @@
│ │ │ │ -valueof top.i 32'hx @ 0
│ │ │ │  valueof top.a 32'hx @ 0
│ │ │ │ +valueof top.i 32'hx @ 0
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.i 32'h0 @ 0
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.a 32'h0 @ 0
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.i 32'h1 @ 1
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.i 32'h2 @ 2
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.a 32'h2 @ 2
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.i 32'h3 @ 3
│ │ │ │  tell bob top.i 32'h4 @ 4

Patch attached.
