coverage: Add -Zcoverage-options for fine control of coverage

This new nightly-only flag can be used to toggle fine-grained flags that
control the details of coverage instrumentation.

Currently the only supported flag value is `branch` (or `no-branch`), which is
a placeholder for upcoming support for branch coverage. Other flag values can
be added in the future, to prototype proposed new behaviour, or to enable
special non-default behaviour.
