Hi,

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

This is because it built a different binary package depending on
whether nocheck was specified. Specifically, if the tests were run,
then the package would ship a "parser.out" file.

Patch attached that removes this file after running the tests.
