tests are packaged and installed at top-level

[PierreF]

If we install whoisit, a top-level package tests will be installed in the site-package, which seems unwanted.

Step to reproduce (done in a freshly created virtualenv: virtualenv myvenv; . ./myvenv/bin/activate:

$ cd empty_folder_to_avoid_interference 
$ python -c "import tests; print(tests)"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    import tests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tests'

expected, Python don't have tests package

Then:

$ pip install whoisit
$ python -c "import tests; print(tests)"
<module 'tests' from '/Users/pierref/tmp/20250220-1714/myvenv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/tests/__init__.py'>
$ ls -lh /Users/pierref/tmp/20250220-1714/myvenv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/tests/
total 80K

The versions involved:

$ pip --version
pip 24.3.1 from /Users/pierref/tmp/20250220-1714/myvenv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pip (python 3.13)
$ python --version
Python 3.13.2
$ pip freeze | grep whoisit
whoisit==3.0.4

Yeah I can probably strip those, thanks for the issue.

While I've making private FreeBSD ports for whoisit, I've just encountered issue and avoid it by (obvious) patch below (Please ignore the timestamp):

Thanks @futatuki ! I've incorporated your fix into the above commit and it'll be in the next release.
