Subject: [PATCH 18/23] gcov: remove CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT

CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT compiles either gcc_3_4.c or gcc_4_7.c
according to your GCC version.

We can achieve the equivalent behavior by setting reasonable default
in the 'choice' with the knowledge of the compiler version.

Users are still allowed to change it if they need to do so.
