Remove deprecated codecov dependency from CI (#1494)

The codecov python package is deprecated in favour of a bash script,
so it should be removed from PyGMT's CI dependency lists. For more
info, see codecov/codecov-python#325 and
https://about.codecov.io/blog/codecov-uploader-deprecation-plan.

* Refresh codecov badge to be the official one
* Drop deprecated codecov dependency from conda install
* Add note to maintenance.md on how code coverage reports are handled
