Setting for max coverage drop

[dazza-codes]

For ruby, SimpleCov has a max coverage drop setting. We want to fail a build only when the total coverage drops by 1%, we don't care about anything less than that [1]. There is no option on the code-climate web UI or elsewhere to set a similar threshold; it fails travis.ci builds when coverage drops by -0.1% but we just don't care about that. We've decided to turn it off to avoid these false build failures.

@darrenleeweber Hi! Thank you for using Code Climate. Under your Repo -> Settings, you can enable or disable sending pass/fail statuses on your total coverage.
Also you can configure the threshold on diff-coverage (lines changed by your PR). You can read more about it on our docs here.

Currently, we don't offer a threshold option for total-coverage. But I suggest disabling total-coverage status and increasing diff-coverage threshold to a percentage you feel comfortable with. This way you can make sure that all new/changed code meets with the coverage standard you expect.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with

@ale7714 Сan you please guide me on how to reduce the full test coverage threshold in the config file in the repository? I had 33% full coverage in some project, my edits reduced it to 0.2, and I would like to say to codeclimate that this is acceptable
