Bazel's coverage_support option

[Michael Fitzner]

I try to override the internal collect_coverage.sh script by using the command line option '--coverage_support' but it seems that this gets ignored.

- I use Bazel 5.1.1

- I defined

filegroup(
name = "coverage_support",
srcs = [
"collect_coverage.sh"
],
)

- I configured "coverage --coverage_support="//:coverage_support""

The output shows "external/bazel_tools/tools/test/test-setup.sh external/bazel_tools/tools/test/collect_coverage.sh libs/foo1-c/test/unit/foo1_test"

Has someone further information about this flag and how it should work?
