[cover] Improve performance
Add functions for cover compilation and analysis on multiple files. This allows for more parallelisation. All functions for cover compilation can now take a list of modules/files. cover:analyse/analyze and cover:analyse_to_file/analyze_to_file can be called without the Modules arguement in order to analyse all cover compiled and imported modules, or with a list of modules. Also, the number of lookups in ets tables is reduced, which has also improved the performance when analysing and resetting cover data.
