lcov 2.x, unlike lcov 1.x, gives errors like
geninfo: ERROR: mismatched end line for _ZN12CRC_CRC_Test8TestBodyEv at /home/runner/work/libcanard/libcanard/tests/test_crc.cpp:42: 42 -> 55
for source files which contain gtest tests.These files are removed from the coverage information in a later step, but lcov now fails to create the initial coverage info because of them.
Fix this problem (and thus CI) by excluding the files from the initial coverage info instead of removing them later. Note that the exclude order is relevant to ensure all excludes trigger, avoiding errors that some are unused. Verified that identical coverage stats are generated for 2.x as compared to 1.x.
