Description

### Description

The coverage exclusion files are highly dependent on the corresponding RTL. This means they cannot in general handle ipgen IPs, since some RTL won't be present in the generated IP.

These files should probably be placed directly under each top's ip_autogen//dv/cov.

Research direction

Locate the coverage exclusion files currently under ip_templates and inspect the corresponding top-level ip_autogen//dv/cov directories mentioned in the issue. Compare the exclusions with the RTL available for generated IPs, then move each file to the appropriate per-IP coverage directory. Done means the exclusions are colocated with their corresponding RTL and no longer depend on unavailable generated-IP RTL.
