[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#946332: nftables: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because it ships an example Makefile that embeds the absolute
build path. Patch attached that simply does not install this file; it
likely doesn't work on end-user systems anyway due to the "wrong"
paths.
