coverage: Allow specifying coverage flags via a yaml file

[Dhruv-Maradiya]

PR Description

Overview

• Fixes Allow specifying coverage flags via a yaml file #532
• Implemented functionality to specify coverage flags via a YAML file.
• Deprecated flags are ignored and not used from the YAML file.
• Functionality only allows specifying common flags.

Concerns

• parseArgs Handling:
  The parseArgs function is defined as private, preventing it from being imported into test files. As a workaround, I created a minimal version for testing purposes. I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to handle this.

• Test Coverage:
  I have added test cases to validate the new functionality. I'm unsure if I have organized the tests properly and would appreciate feedback on their coverage and structure.

• I’ve reviewed the contributor guide and applied the relevant portions to this PR.
