Add support for conditional coverage

See original GitHub issue

Originally reported by Thomas Pansino (Bitbucket: tpansino, GitHub: tpansino)

Coming from the Perl world with its excellent Devel::Cover module, I’m quite surprised that the most popular equivalent coverage package in Python doesn’t have any support for conditional coverage. This can be a useful metric similiar to branch coverage to ensure all combinations of boolean conditionals are tested properly.

The best tool I’ve found so far to measure this is @desmaj’s instrumental utility, which is in need of some updates for Python 3 compatibility and some general polishing and love.

I’m thinking there may be an opportunity here to incorporate some of the work done in instrumental into coverage.py. I don’t know that I have the Python expertise to do the work myself, but I’m happy to learn and contribute in whatever way I can.

First thing’s first - where does this idea fall on the coverage.py roadmap?

5.0 alphas are available now, and feedback is appreciated. I’m hoping to have the beta this month.

I see. https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/660#issuecomment-399708946 is a suggestions by @tpansino. It is not implemented yet in coverage.py. I’m not sure the status of their work.
