build: Remove `cmake/script/CoverageFuzz.cmake` #36161

   The gcov-based CoverageFuzz script was introduced in 8b6f1c4353836bae6aa683cbc65251165bd031ba, as a CMake's replacement for the legacy cov_fuzz target. However, neither cov_fuzz nor CoverageFuzz has a documented usage.

   Instead, #32206 documented compiling for fuzz coverage using the LLVM/Clang toolchain, which does not involve the CoverageFuzz script.

   This PR removes the never-documented CoverageFuzz script, which is likely unused.

   I use the llvm-based coverage so I am ok with removing this, but if somebody relies on this we could keep it

    I've also been exclusively using an LLVM toolchain for coverage for some time now.
