gcov: fix documentation

Commonly available versions of cp and tar don't work well with special
files created using seq_file.  Mention this problem in the gcov
documentation and update the helper script example to work around these
problems.

Problem: Files copied from sysfs appear empty or incomplete.
Cause: Due to the way seq_file works, some tools such as cp or tar
may not correctly copy files from sysfs.
Solution: Use 'cat' to read .gcda files and 'cp -d' to copy links.
Alternatively use the mechanism shown in Appendix B.
