Log:
Stop creating covmap as note section on ELF

covmap needs to created as non allocatable, but not with
SHT_NOTE. The latter was needed to workaround a problem
of BFD linker with gc, which is no longer needed. (A more
proper longer term fix requires changing FE driver to force
referencing the section using linker script).
