$ go test -bench=. -cpuprofile=cpu.pprof pkg

results in cmd/go writing pkg.test to the current directory. The original reason was so that pkg.test would be handy when running go tool pprof. But go tool pprof no longer requires access to the original executable, because the requisite information is in the profile itself.

Maybe we should stop writing it.
