coverage: Re-land "Enlarge empty spans during MIR instrumentation"
This allows us to assume that coverage spans will only be discarded during codegen in very unusual situations.

This seemingly-simple change has a rather messy history:
- rust-lang/rust#140847
- rust-lang/rust#141650
- rust-lang/rust#144298
- rust-lang/rust#144480
Since then, a number of related changes have landed that should make it reasonable to try again:
- rust-lang/rust#144530
- rust-lang/rust#144560
- rust-lang/rust#144616
In particular, we have multiple fixes/mitigations, and a confirmed regression test for the original bug that is not triggered by re-landing the changes in this PR.
