Subject: [PATCH V7] GCOV: Add config to check the preqequisites situation

From: Cixi Geng <cixi.geng1@...soc.com>

Introduce new configuration option GCOV_PROFILE_PREREQS that can be
used to check whether the prerequisites for enabling gcov profiling
for specific files and directories are met.

Only add SERIAL_GCOV for an example.
