[issue18481] lcov report

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

The patch adds a couple of ignores and three Makefile targets for gcov and lcov reports. lcov [1] is a project that can create html reports from gcov output for C files.

make coverage-report first cleans up the source tree, then recompiles Python with gcov, runs the unit test and finally creates a HTML report.

I have a sample output on my box. Do we have a server where I can host about 55 MB?
