Quiet option for use_coverage()

[lionel-]

It should:

• ask the user for a target percentage for the project (say 70% by default)
• set the patch target to zero
• set both thresholds to 100%

comment: false

coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        target: 70
        threshold: 100
    patch:
      default:
        target: 0
        threshold: 100

I also fiddled with this today. Context: you want to keep getting codecov reports on commits and PRs but you don't want Codecov to ever fail, i.e. be the reason for ❌ on the commit.

Most useful docs: https://docs.codecov.io/docs/commit-status

This variant sets the target percentage to "whatever it is in the base" and tolerates coverage decrease of 10%:

comment: false
coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        target: auto
        threshold: 10%
    patch:
      default:
        target: auto
        threshold: 10%

This variant suppresses all reporting directly on the gh commit or PR but the report is still available over at codecov.io:

coverage:
  status:
    project: off
    patch: off

Jenny's first example seems OK, although honestly I personally am fine with the defaults for this. I pretty much always want PRs to test the code changed in the PR and use the green ✅ as an measure of trust, that is should be ok to merge with minimal code review.
