Grimmauld f584505ac3 libapparmor/test: avoid writing __pycache__
Having a __pycache__ on check can result in all kinds of weird issues.
Notaby, the test environment is currently clearing all environment variables,
including those responsible for keeping a reproducible build.
This is not immediately a problem for functionality,
but complicates downstream distribution in systems such as nix, where it is considered a bug [1].

It might also be possible to force determinism by exporting env vars instead:
```
  DETERMINISTIC_BUILD=1
  PYTHONHASHSEED=0
```
This forces a special mode on the pycache, where instead of a `moddate`,
it will then store a hash of the outputs [2].
This would be an alternative fix, but considering apparmor upstream does
not (yet) test for bit-reproducibility, it is likely too fragile here.

What little documentation exists is in include/aalogparse.h.
