coverage: Use `SpanMarker` to improve coverage spans for `if !` expressions

Coverage instrumentation works by extracting source code spans from MIR. However, some kinds of syntax are effectively erased during MIR building, so their spans don't necessarily exist anywhere in MIR, making them invisible to the coverage instrumentor (unless we resort to various heuristics and hacks to recover them).

This PR introduces `CoverageKind::SpanMarker`, which is a new variant of `StatementKind::Coverage`. Its sole purpose is to represent spans that would otherwise not appear in MIR, so that the coverage instrumentor can extract them.

When coverage is enabled, the MIR builder can insert these dummy statements as needed, to improve the accuracy of spans used by coverage mappings.

Fixes #115468.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
