Bug#986446: pristine-lfs: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because it ships a test-results.xml file with the build host's
hostname as well as non-deterministic timing information. This file
is actually installed directly into the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
directory (i.e. the shared one) which is a bug in itself, hence the
"normal" severity (vs. "wishlist").

Patch attached.
