Bump codecov-action to v7, the last Node 20 warning

[kevalmorabia97]

What does this PR do?

Type of change: CI/CD maintenance

#2102 and #2103 bumped every action this repo references directly, but Node 20 annotations still appear — e.g. this run on #2103:

The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: actions/github-script@60a0d83039c74a4aee543508d2ffcb1c3799cdea

We never reference github-script. It comes in transitively through codecov/codecov-action:

codecov-action	bundled github-script	runtime
@v5 (= v5.5.5)	60a0d830…	node20
@v6.0.2 / @v7.0.0	ed597411…	node24

Bumps all four call sites (unit_tests, gpu_tests, regression_tests, _example_tests_runner) to @v7.

Checked: v6's notes call out node24 support as the only breaking aspect — the same pattern as the bumps in #2102 — and our runners report 2.336.0. The inputs used here (token, files, flags, fail_ci_if_error, verbose) all still exist in v7. A scan of every referenced action, direct and one level transitive, now finds no node20 runtimes left.

Testing

Coverage upload runs in every unit, gpu, regression and example job, so CI exercises this broadly. Worth checking that coverage still lands in Codecov rather than only that the step is green — fail_ci_if_error: false means an upload failure would not turn the job red.
