x/tools/cmd/cover: isolate, tag, and delete package #56783

Description

@bcmills

The documentation for x/tools/cmd/cover says:

Deprecated: For Go releases 1.5 and later, this tool lives in the standard repository. The code here is not maintained.

I count 11 CLs updating the package since that notice was first added in CL 9539.
Keeping the code around clearly isn't doing anyone any good — at the very least, it adds noise in git grep results (which is how I came to notice it in the first place).

I propose that we give it the same treatment as x/exp/winfsnotify: carve it out into a nested module, tag that module cmd/cover/v0.1.0-deprecated, and then delete it from the x/tools repo at HEAD.
