We may be able to run the last build "with coverage enabled" using
some API. I don't know, I'd need to look at the docs, but this way it
could be done from the Varnish infra.

I thought gcov'ed binaries could run concurrently if the underlying
file-system allowed it. I never had any issue with gcov and parallel
builds and regardless, if varnishtest spawns a varnishd, won't they
compete on coverage collection for libvarnish for instance?

I don't know about simplest, running nightly builds from a script that
runs pseudo-continuously doesn't sound straightforward.
