_pty.py: remove _test_pty_eof()

If array.fromfile() is not used, then _test_pty_eof() is useless.
This function was for runtime detection of python issue 5380:

   http://bugs.python.org/issue5380

However, array.fromfile() use has since been abandoned due to
bugs that exist in all known versions of Python (including Python
2.7 and Python 3.2). See PipeReaderArrayTestCase, for example.
