Description

The Code Coverage CI step on Windows is currently deactivated, because there is some issue around the crate profiler_builtins: #6534

After several months of wasted compute power and apparently noone caring enough to fix the bug, the CI step was removed in #6687. This issue exists as a reminder to re-enable this feature, in some form or another.

Start by reviewing the removed Windows code-coverage CI step in #6687 and the profiler_builtins problem tracked in #6534. Determine a viable way to restore Windows coverage, then verify that the CI configuration runs and reports coverage successfully on Windows.
