[PATCH v2 1/1] Makefile: add a prerequisite to the coverage-report target

Directly invoking make coverage-report as a target results in an error because its prerequisites are missing,

This patch adds the compile-test prerequisite, which is run only once each time the compile-report target is invoked. In practice, the developer may decide to review the coverage-report results without necessarily rerunning for this coverage-test, if it has already been run.

This is the second version of the patch.

With respect to the first version, we tried to eliminate the inefficient coverage-test invocation if the target is coverage-report, introducing a more useful invocation order
