Subject: [cover] Add support for test_server

OTP-10523

* Added cover:flush(Nodes), which will fetch data from remote nodes
  without stopping cover on those nodes.

* Added cover:get_main_node(), which returns the node name of the main
  node. This is used by test_server to avoid {error,not_main_node}
  when a slave starts another slave (e.g. in test_server's own tests).
