add a --require option to specify directories which are required to be at the beginning of the path for any file that is going to be included in code coverage

make the --omit and --require options apply to code coverage generation as well as to reporting; This speeds up tests from 6 seconds to 1 second on my system, as well as making the resulting .coverage db include *only* the code that I care about, which helps with my code coverage progression/regression tool.
