Add code coverage testing with lcov to GitHub Actions

Add a dedicated Coverage job that:
- Uses g++ with --coverage flag for comprehensive coverage collection
- Installs and configures lcov for coverage data processing
- Filters coverage to focus on main library headers (include/*)
- Excludes system headers, vendor files, tests, and build artifacts
- Generates HTML coverage reports with titles and legends
- Uploads results to Codecov for PR comments and online tracking
- Provides downloadable coverage artifacts as backup

The coverage job runs independently of main builds to avoid performance
overhead while providing detailed coverage metrics and PR feedback.
