Remove LCOV merger dependency of cc_test without coverage (bazelbuild#17004)

When coverage is disabled, `cc_test` should not depend on the Java LCOV merger tool. This is achieved by using `configuration_field`.

Also depend on coverage tools in `exec` rather than `target` configuration, matching Java rules as well as the once-per-build coverage report generator.

Fixes bazelbuild#16961

Closes bazelbuild#16994.
