 The covoar tool should be changed to handle all symbol sets for a coverage
 run rather than being called by coverage.py for each symbol set.

 Currently, coverage.py calls covoar once for each symbol set found in the
 symbol-sets.ini configuration file. This leads to a lot of redundancy. For
 each symbol set, covoar has to process the objdumps and the coverage
 information of all the executables even though they do not change.

 Changing covoar to process all symbol sets and generate reports in one
 invocation will result in a large speedup.

 This will also require a minor modification to coverage.py to generate the
 correct .ini file and only call covoar once.
