The coverage tests (for -Z instrument-coverage) are implemented using Makefiles and embedded shell scripts, which is fragile.

Some cross-platform issues are unavoidable, but there have been some cross-platform issues, due to differences in the shell scripts and external commands (like sed).

Also, there is a known bug in some versions of make on MacOS that corrupts shell scripts during script interpretation.

Some of these issues could be avoided in the future if the test logic was rewritten/ported to Rust as a compiletest.

I was bitten pretty badly by cross-platform differences in #110942/#111179, so I'm investigating what it would take to integrate the coverage tests into compiletest as a new test category.

Convert `run-make/coverage-reports` tests to use a custom compiletest mode

I was frustrated by the fact that most of the coverage tests are glued together with makefiles and shell scripts, so I tried my hand at converting most of them over to a newly-implemented `run-coverage` mode/suite in compiletest.

This ~~*mostly*~~ resolves rust-lang#85009, ~~though I've left a small number of the existing tests as-is because they would require more work to fix/support~~.

---

I had time to go back and add support for the more troublesome tests that I had initially skipped over, so this PR now manages to completely get rid of `run-make/coverage-reports`.

---

The patches are arranged as follows:

- Declare the new mode/suite in bootstrap
- Small changes to compiletest that will be used by the new mode
- Implement the new mode in compiletest
- Migrate most of the tests over
- Add more code to bootstrap and compiletest to support the remaining tests
- Migrate the remaining tests (with some temporary hacks to avoid re-blessing them)
- Remove the temporary hacks and re-bless the migrated tests
- Remove the unused remnants of `run-make/coverage-reports`

There is still one test left in tests/run-make/coverage-llvmir, but that's much less complex than the coverage-reports tests that were migrated.

It mostly delegates to $(LLVM_FILECHECK) anyway, so it seems fine as-is for now.
