ci: restore coverage computation (#32585)

* ci: restore coverage computation

* Mark "test_foreground_background" as xfail

* Mark "test_foreground_background_output" as xfail

* Make number of processes explicit, remove verbosity on linux

* Run coverage on just 3 Python jobs for linux

* Run coverage on just 3 Python jobs for linux

* Run coverage on just 2 Python jobs for linux

* Add back verbose, since before we didn't encounter the xdist internal error

* Reduce the workers to 2

* Try to use command line
