Shut down gcov.php.net

Hi all,

I suggest to shut down <http://gcov.php.net/> altogether.  It is barely
maintained for quite a while: PHP 7.4 builds are failing, and there are
no PHP 8.0 builds at all.  We already run a coverage job on Azure[1], so
there is no *need* for this site anymore, and we can't spent our time on
more useful things.

See also <https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78288>.

Any objections?

+1 to shutting down this server. Coverage is now on azure and also
published to https://app.codecov.io/gh/php/php-src/, and valgrind has been
replaced by asan jobs. Newer PHP versions don't work on gcov because the OS
is too old.

Regards,
Nikita

+1, this was always the long term plan.

Cheers

+1; I've just checked my calendar and it's not 1999 anymore.  Put 'er out
to pasture next to git.php.net

As the author of the bug, I've gotta say: yes, let's do it!
