[PATCH v2 1/1] Makefile: add coverage-prove target

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

Sometimes there are test failures in the 'pu' branch. This is somewhat expected for a branch that takes the very latest topics under development, and those sometimes have semantic conflicts that only show up during test runs. This also can happen when running the test suite with different GIT_TEST_* environment variables that interact in unexpected ways

This causes a problem for the test coverage reports, as the typical 'make coverage-test coverage-report' run halts at the first failed test. If that test is early in the suite, then many valuable tests are not exercising the code and the coverage report becomes noisy with false positives.

Add a new 'coverage-prove' target to the Makefile, modeled after the 'coverage-test' target. This compiles the source using the coverage flags, then runs the test suite using the 'prove' tool. Since the coverage machinery is not thread-safe, enforce that the tests are run in sequence by appending '-j1' to GIT_PROVE_OPTS.
