Hi,

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

This is because the call to remove some tests were in the wrong
debian/rules target. Whilst it was in override_dh_auto_test, this target
is not called if the tests are skipped — meaning that if the tests
aren't run, then the package contains those files.

Patch attached moves the deletion call to the unconditionally executed
execute_after_dh_auto_build target, allowing us to also remove the
explicit call to dh_auto_test.
