Tell Devel::Cover to ignore files outside current build directory

[zmughal]

This issue comes up in the coverage results of Test-PDL:

-pdl-commits:#pdl- [Test-PDL] [build/push]: ∀S ✓ a8ba9e2 | Zaki Mughal [sivoais] | Use shared GitHub Actions from PDLPorters (#6) https://github.com/ebaudrez/Test-PDL/actions/runs/1557475038 [@sivoais] one odd thing with the coverage above: it thinks that a file from the PDL distribution is part of the coverage [@sivoais] a file that is located in ~/.cpanm ?? [@sivoais] i saw this locally as well, but didn't bother tracking it down in Devel::Cover [@sivoais] so even though Test-PDL's coverage is really 100%, it comes out at 76% on Coveralls

Coveralls link is: https://coveralls.io/jobs/91303010.

This is possibly just a matter of adding a -ignore_re option to the cover command, but will need to be tested.

@mohawk2 , does this have anything to do with the -relative_only flag that you created in your mohawk2:deepdirs PR for Devel::Cover?

[mohawk2]

No, that's only to add a -r flag for gcov, which is in C-land. I think the above distro is pure-Perl.

[mohawk2]

I think this means we need another patch to D:C?

[zmughal]

I believe so, but my fix is not ready to go yet.
