Currently, the yfinance package includes an executable shim named sample. As this executable shim wraps a non-existent module, this was likely added in error. Given that this executable serves no purpose, as a small item of clean-up, the following change drops this executable from the set of installed artifacts.

While the packaging behavior is well documented and thus, the side-effects of this change should be self-evident, if only to provide some added confidence, please find below some test evidence to support this change:

While I did not want to get too speculative in the commit message, I did observe this as well. Given the similar structure, I strongly suspect it is merely a remnant of the template made available by PyPA around that time.
