[PATCH v3] 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 third revision of the patch. Compared to the second:
- deleted the Makefile coverage-test.file variable, replaced directly by the
  coverage-test.made file
- added in coverage-compile as last command the touch of coverage-test.made, so
  that even if coverage-test is run first, invoking indirectly it by the first coverage-report does not
  call coverage-test and so the test suite gain.
