After getting a +1 from everyone on the team, this PR removes the use of `codecov` from the Certbot repo because we keep having problems with it.
Two noteworthy things about this PR are:
1. I left the text at 4ea98d830b/.azure-pipelines/INSTALL.md (add-a-secret-variable-to-a-pipeline-like-codecov_token) because I think it's useful to document how to set up a secret variable in general.
2. I'm not sure what the text "Option -e makes sure we fail fast and don't submit to codecov." in `tox.cover.py` refers to but it seems incorrect since `-e` isn't accepted or used by the script so I just deleted the line.
As part of this, I said I'd open an issue to track setting up coveralls (which seems to be the only real alternative to codecov) which is at https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/7810.
With my change, failure output looks something like:
```
$ tox -e py27-cover
...

Command '['/path/to/certbot/dir/.tox/py27-cover/bin/python', '-m', 'coverage', 'report', '--fail-under', '100', '--include', 'certbot/*', '--show-missing']' returned non-zero exit status 2
Test coverage on certbot did not meet threshold of 100%.

```
I printed the exception just so we're not throwing away information.
I think it's also possible we fail for a reason other than the threshold not meeting the percentage, but I've personally never seen this, `coverage report` output is not being captured so hopefully that would inform devs if something else is going on, and saying something like "Test coverage probably did not..." seems like overkill to me personally.
* remove codecov
* remove unused variable group
* remove codecov.yml
* Improve tox.cover.py failure output.
Certbot is part of EFF’s effort to encrypt the entire Internet. Secure communication over the Web relies on HTTPS, which requires the use of a digital certificate that lets browsers verify the identity of web servers (e.g., is that really google.com?). Web servers obtain their certificates from trusted third parties called certificate authorities (CAs). Certbot is an easy-to-use client that fetches a certificate from Let’s Encrypt—an open certificate authority launched by the EFF, Mozilla, and others—and deploys it to a web server.
Anyone who has gone through the trouble of setting up a secure website knows what a hassle getting and maintaining a certificate is. Certbot and Let’s Encrypt can automate away the pain and let you turn on and manage HTTPS with simple commands. Using Certbot and Let's Encrypt is free, so there’s no need to arrange payment.
How you use Certbot depends on the configuration of your web server. The best way to get started is to use our interactive guide. It generates instructions based on your configuration settings. In most cases, you’ll need root or administrator access to your web server to run Certbot.
Certbot is meant to be run directly on your web server, not on your personal computer. If you’re using a hosted service and don’t have direct access to your web server, you might not be able to use Certbot. Check with your hosting provider for documentation about uploading certificates or using certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt.
Certbot is a fully-featured, extensible client for the Let's Encrypt CA (or any other CA that speaks the ACME protocol) that can automate the tasks of obtaining certificates and configuring webservers to use them. This client runs on Unix-based operating systems.
To see the changes made to Certbot between versions please refer to our changelog.
Until May 2016, Certbot was named simply letsencrypt or
letsencrypt-auto, depending on install method. Instructions
on the Internet, and some pieces of the software, may still refer to
this older name.

How to run the client
The easiest way to install and run Certbot is by visiting certbot.eff.org, where you can find the correct instructions for many web server and OS combinations. For more information, see Get Certbot.
Understanding the client in more depth
To understand what the client is doing in detail, it's important to understand the way it uses plugins. Please see the explanation of plugins in the User Guide.

System Requirements
See https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html#system-requirements.
Current Features
- Supports multiple web servers:
- apache/2.x
- nginx/0.8.48+
- webroot (adds files to webroot directories in order to prove control of domains and obtain certs)
- standalone (runs its own simple webserver to prove you control a domain)
- other server software via third party plugins
- The private key is generated locally on your system.
- Can talk to the Let's Encrypt CA or optionally to other ACME compliant services.
- Can get domain-validated (DV) certificates.
- Can revoke certificates.
- Adjustable RSA key bit-length (2048 (default), 4096, ...).
- Can optionally install a http -> https redirect, so your site effectively runs https only (Apache only)
- Fully automated.
- Configuration changes are logged and can be reverted.
- Supports an interactive text UI, or can be driven entirely from the command line.
- Free and Open Source Software, made with Python.
