Bug#1122229: golang-github-issue9-identicon: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
golang-github-issue9-identicon could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the testsuite generates a number of .png files which
then end up in the binary package. This means that if the tests are
skipped, the files are not generated and the package contains different
contents.

A patch is attached that removes these PNG files after running the
tests, but if the binary package really needs these files at runtime
(eg. for autopkgtests or for any other reason), then the package will
need rejigging.
