Integrate lcov/gcov into Libav

The gcov/lcov are a common toolchain for visualizing code coverage with
the GNU/Toolchain. The documentation and implementation of this
integration was heavily inspired from the blog entry by Mike Melanson:

+@subsection Visualizing Test Coverage
+
+The Libav build system allows visualizing the test coverage in an easy
+manner with the coverage tools @code{gcov}/@code{lcov}. This involves
+the following steps:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+ Configure to compile with instrumentation enabled:
+ @code{configure --toolchain=gcov}.
+@item
+ Run your test case, either manually or via FATE. This can be either
+ the full FATE regression suite, or any arbitrary invocation of any
+ front-end tool provided by Libav, in any combination.
+@item
+ Run @code{make lcov} to generate coverage data in HTML format.
+@item
+ View @code{lcov/index.html} in your preferred HTML viewer.
+@end enumerate
+
+You can use the command @code{make lcov-reset} to reset the coverage
+measurements. You will need to rerun @code{make lcov} after running a
+new test.
