This change updates the kcov implementation to use the new Go coverage interface provided by the
internal/coveragepackage. The previous implementation relied oncoverdata.Blocks, which is part of the older coverage tooling.The new implementation uses
runtime/coverage.WriteCountersto get the raw coverage data and then decodes it usingdecodecounter.NewDecoder. This approach is aligned with the modern Go coverage infrastructure.This change requires a patched Go compiler that allows importing internal packages. This is a temporary measure until the golang team provides a public API.
