coverage: Restrict empty-span expansion to only cover `{` and `}`

Coverage instrumentation has some tricky code for converting a coverage-relevant `Span` into a set of start/end line/byte-column coordinates that will be embedded in the CGU's coverage metadata.

A big part of this complexity is special code for handling empty spans, which are expanded into non-empty spans (if possible) because LLVM's coverage reporter does not handle empty spans well.

This PR simplifies that code by restricting it to only apply in two specific situations: when the character after the empty span is `{`, or the character before the empty span is `}`.

(As an added benefit, this means that the expanded spans no longer extend awkwardly beyond the end of a physical line, which was common under the previous implementation.)

Along the way, this PR also removes some unhelpful code for dealing with function source code spread across multiple files. Functions currently can't have coverage spans in multiple files, and if that ever changes (e.g. to properly support expansion regions) then this code will need to be completely overhauled anyway.

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.
