Bug#1108273: tree-puzzle: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because the "clean" target of the (auto-generated)
tests/Makefile file does not clean the test-suite.log file, which
contains system information such as the kernel version.

Patch attached that manually deletes this file in debian/rules.
Alternatively, the "clean" target of the Makefile could be instructed
to clean this file as well.
