Remove dejagnu test suite
Of the remaining test scripts, kprop.exp has a corresponding Python script, and standalone.exp is covered by t_general.py, t_dump.py, t_keytab.py, and t_pkinit.py.

-* In addition to Tcl, DejaGnu must be available on the system for some

- if DejaGnu is not present, but the test coverage will be reduced
- accordingly.
-* On some operating systems, you have to run ``make install`` before
- running ``make check``, or the test suite will pick up installed
- versions of Kerberos libraries rather than the newly built ones.
- You can install into a prefix that isn't in the system library
- search path, though. Alternatively, you can configure with
- **-**\ **-disable-rpath**, which renders the build tree less suitable for
- installation, but allows testing without interference from
- previously installed libraries.
