build: add JaCoCo coverage for the unit and integration lanes (3.x)

[nikagra]

3.x has no coverage number; the only tooling in the tree was a dead Python 2 Cobertura script.
DRIVER-887 asks for the metric on both drivers, and this is the 3.x half.

• Opt-in coverage Maven profile attaching the JaCoCo agent through a dedicated jacoco.argline
  property. Only the three reported modules attach it.
• New driver-coverage-report module whose dependencies are the report's scope — driver-core,
  driver-mapping, driver-extras. report-aggregate is bound inside a profile of its own, so the
  default reactor renders nothing.
• COVERAGE=true on any make test-* target, plus make coverage-report and make clean-coverage.
  Each lane names its own execution data file; CI passes COVERAGE_LANE as a make variable.
• The five existing test lanes upload their execution data and one continue-on-error job
  aggregates it, rather than a dedicated workflow re-running the 90-minute Scylla suite.
• Drops the dead testing/ Cobertura harness.

Sibling of #1005 (4.x); it deliberately does not copy that PR's structure — the commit bodies say why.

Verification

CI run 33373139038 on this head: the aggregate job is green at 18722/22509 lines (83.18%), zero
checksum mismatches, from four separately named lanes. The agent costs a Scylla lane 1-2 minutes on
18, against a 90-minute cap.

Two unrelated lanes failed there: Cassandra ITs on one policy test out of 908 — the base branch's
standing flake, run 31706862629 fails the same lane the same way — and Scylla ITs (LTS-PRIOR) on a
Maven Central failure while reading the parent POM. That lane's data is missing from the four above.

Locally on JDK 11, make test-unit COVERAGE=true then make coverage-report gives 39.97%, with
execution data in the three reported modules and nowhere else. The aggregate's -DskipTests was
checked against a local repository with driver-core's tests jar deleted, which is CI's situation:
-Dmaven.test.skip=true cannot resolve the test-jar there.

No jacoco:check gate: 3.x is being deprecated (DRIVER-483), so a ratchet would mostly produce
false failures. Pre-existing CI gaps found while scoping this are #1022 and #1024.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds opt-in JaCoCo coverage to Maven test runs and Makefile targets. A new Maven module aggregates coverage for driver-core, driver-mapping, and driver-extras. CI test jobs upload execution data, and a dependent job generates and uploads the aggregate report. Contributor documentation describes the workflow. Legacy Cobertura tooling and related testing documentation are removed.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0e5c5

The PR adds a CI coverage aggregation job that runs pull-request-controlled build commands while checkout credentials may remain available and token permissions are not explicit, creating a bounded risk of exposing CI authority if repository defaults are broader than intended. It is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up to disable credential persistence and declare least-privilege permissions; the remaining report-path and documentation issues are minor.
