I installed a gcc 6.4 toolchain and changed the uml_abort() call to
exit(), coverage was generated, but still truncated and incorrectly
near 0%.  So what I did was crash after running all the test cases I
cared about by dividing by zero and then coverage data was produced
correctly.  It's 100% by lines.  But I think both possibilities when
the largest semiconvergent is exactly half the previous convergent
aren't tested.

Before I chose a name, I checked every file with kunit tests cases,
and *-test was the most common naming pattern, including the sample
case.  I would be nice if changing the docs to say something is a
standard also updated the code to make that reality.
