tests.7: Remove an unused configuration variable

are normally transient, like /dev/tap* and /dev/pts*, as long as they clean
them up afterwards.
However, tests that require this variable have a relaxed cleanup requirement;
they must recreate any devices that they destroyed, but not necessarily with
the same devnames.
