Description

istanbul is old and apparently its replacement is nyc. Currently we use a [hack](https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/pull/1315#discussion_r495469975) to get coverage working, maybe migrating to nyc will fix that?

Research direction

Start in the test/coverage area and inspect the current Istanbul configuration and the coverage workaround discussed in pull request 1315. Migrate the setup to nyc and verify that the coverage workflow runs successfully without the hack.
