Subject: [PATCH] TST: Remove asset finder test for NASDAQ collisions.

The asset finder retrieved from the test environment is empty, so the
test does not end up testing anything, since the test cases loop over
the empty list of sids in the asset finder.

Remove to possibly be added back in and re-implemented after a larger
refactoring of the module.
