Hi,

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

This is because the testsuite generated a coverage.xml file which was
then shipped in the binary package, meaning that if the tests were
skipped via "nocheck" then the package contents would differ.

Patch attached that deletes this file after running the tests.
