autotools, docs: Adjust help string for `--enable-coverage` option
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only rewords the help text shown when a developer runs ./configure --help. It changes the description of the --enable-coverage option from mentioning 'kcov' to a more generic phrase. There is no code, build logic, or security change.
No action needed; this is a documentation-only change with no security relevance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
A single-line edit in configure.ac updates the AS_HELP_STRING description for –enable-coverage. The default value, the macro behavior, compiler flags, and all other build configuration remain identical. No functional or security-relevant change is present.
