coverage: only run coverage for subset of unit tests

- Codecov cannot handle as many coverage reports as we are generating

- as a result, our PR coverage pages have been broken for a while, and
  it's hard to tell people where to enhance their testing in PR reviews.

- Scale back to only running coverage for 3.7 and 2.7 unit tests

- This is *probably* better.  We run the build tests for good measure,
  but we do not need to evaluate them for coverage.  The coverage reports
  are about unit tests.
