Bug#1027992: towncrier: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because the testsuite generates a bunch of Python modules with
nondeterminstic contents, which then get installed into the binary
package.

Patch attached that cleans these up after running the tests.
