coverage: be clever and detect config files for gcovr/lcov
gcovr will read this file anyway, but if it exists we don't need to
assume that the project wishes to exclude subprojects/ -- they can
determine that themselves.
Fixes #3287
Closes #9761
lcov doesn't read the config file by default, but we can do the smart
thing here.
Fixes #4628
