Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
node-grunt-contrib-internal could not be built reproducibly.

This is because if the tests are skipped, then the README.md file is
not regenerated. ("grunt test" ends up calling "grunt contrib-core").

A patch is attached that will always call "grunt contrib-core", but
there may be an alternative solution where the behaviour of "grunt test"
is changed so it does not call "contrib-core".
