  Log Message:
  -----------
  [gcov] Ignore blocks from another file

Constructs such as inline variables, #line, and #include can create
lexical blocks with a different filename.
GCOVProfiling and llvm-cov gcov currently don't handle such cases (see
GCOVLines::writeOut and GCOVFile::readGCNO) and would incorrectly
attribute the line number to the current file.

For now, ignore such blocks. Missing line execution counts is better
than wrong ones.
