Details

In order to have more precise coverage data in the per-test case, we should reset the counters before running a test, and dump them before shutting down. In bug 1470151 we have laid the foundations for doing this (by doing it on Linux and for xpcshell). We should expand it to other suites, and then enable it on Windows too (which is going to require some changes to the C++ code, as Clang doesn't have __gcov_dump and __gcov_reset but only __gcov_flush).
