simplify and document how to measure code coverage

This patch configures Coverage.py to measure only the code coverage of
kas itself. In addition, we add a note in the devguide how to create and
inspect the coverage data.

+Measure code coverage
+---------------------
+
+To measure the code coverage of the unit tests, the ``pytest-cov`` package is
+required. On Debian systems, this is provided in ``python3-pytest-cov``.
+Once installed, run::
+
+    $ python3 -m pytest --cov --cov-report html
+
+The coverage in HTML format can then be found in `htmlcov`.
