ci: work around for GitHub Actions Cygwin sed issue

gcc and other compilers create dependency files that are included in
the Makefile for builds subsequent to the first build after a clean
checkout.

Dependency files produced by gcc look like this:

parse.o: parse.c config-host.h compiler/compiler.h parse.h flist.h \
 debug.h lib/types.h log.h lib/output_buffer.h options.h optgroup.h \
 minmax.h lib/ieee754.h lib/pow2.h lib/types.h

The Makefile rule for .o files manipulates the gcc dependencies file to
look like this:

parse.o: parse.c config-host.h compiler/compiler.h parse.h flist.h \
 debug.h lib/types.h log.h lib/output_buffer.h options.h optgroup.h \
 minmax.h lib/ieee754.h lib/pow2.h lib/types.h
parse.c:
config-host.h:
compiler/compiler.h:
parse.h:
flist.h:
debug.h:
lib/types.h:
log.h:
lib/output_buffer.h:
options.h:
optgroup.h:
minmax.h:
lib/ieee754.h:
lib/pow2.h:
lib/types.h:

For some reason the GitHub Actions Windows Cygwin sed does not execute
-e 's/\\$$//' properly to remove the backslashes at the end of each
line. On this platform the dependencies file after processing looks
like:

parse.o: parse.c config-host.h compiler/compiler.h parse.h flist.h \
 debug.h lib/types.h log.h lib/output_buffer.h options.h optgroup.h \
 minmax.h lib/ieee754.h lib/pow2.h lib/types.h
parse.c:
config-host.h:
compiler/compiler.h:
parse.h:
flist.h:
\:
debug.h:
lib/types.h:
log.h:
lib/output_buffer.h:
options.h:
optgroup.h:
\:
minmax.h:
lib/ieee754.h:
lib/pow2.h:
lib/types.h:

Once these dependency files are created subsequent invocations of make
(i.e., 'make test') produce Makefile parsing errors like:

parse.d:9: *** missing separator.  Stop.

All of this works fine on GitHub Actions msys2 and AppVeyor's Cygwin and
msys2.

Work around this problem by deleting the dependencies files before
running the tests.
