`make dist` works

The main problem with `client-only` build and `ipatests`
is that there are not test for it.

* all integration test assume that server will be installed first
  and not that server is already available somewhere.
* unit test should be run as part of build (e.g. `make check`)

So there is not any reason to install `ipatests` for client only build.

Client only build was tested just in downstream :-(
