This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:

- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]

@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.

Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
 22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
This does not break any existing prefix behavior, only makes new behavior work.

For example:
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
The -debug tarballs/zips contain detached debugging symbols. To use them, place
in the same dir as the target binary, and invoke gdb as usual.

Also, because the debug symbols add a substantial space requirement, the build
dirs are now deleted when they're no longer needed.
