Bug#1072093: python-tld: ships test coverage directly under /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-tld could not be built reproducibly. This was because it ships
test coverage information directly under /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
(which, in turn, contain various timetamps that led to it being detected
in this way).

I'm not sure it is valuable to ship the test coverage to begin with, but
at the very least it probably not be shipped in that shared Python
directory.
