I think this test doesn't make any sense, we should just skip this test.

Reading this test logic, it first reads its self executable path, then
start it self, then remove original file. It of cause prints the
"/tmp/go-buildnnn/b001/osext.test (deleted)".
                                  ^^^^^^^^^

Besides in go >= 1.8, this package's Executable function just fallback
to go system os package.
