Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-ciso8601 could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the binary differs depending on whether the tests
are run or not. Specifically, it ships a generate_test_timestamps.py
file, but only if the tests are run.

Patch attached.
