extras: ci: ignore vlc_qrc.cpp coverage

When parsing the coverage with the Qt module enabled, gcovr was failing to parse the output for qt5-vlc_qrc.cpp, leading to the following error.

$ gcovr -r build-meson --json gcovr.cov.json                                                      130 ↵

        This is indicative of a gcov output parse error.
        Please report this to the gcovr developers
        at <https://github.com/gcovr/gcovr/issues>.

Previously, it was trying to merge lines and triggered a negative hit, leading to the introduction of the gcovr parameter: --gcov-ignore-parse-errors=negative_hits.warn_once_per_file. This option is not needed anymore.

Issue #28490 (closed) also mentioned the following assertion:

AssertionError: Got function MainUI::getComponent() const on multiple lines: 26, 27.
        You can run gcovr with --merge-mode-functions=MERGE_MODE.
        The available values for MERGE_MODE are described in the documentation.

This assertion was due to --merge-mode-functions1 not being accounted, which it now does in gcovr 7.02, and files using Q_OBJECT and the MOC code generator, duplicating some inline functions from headers.

class MainUI : public QObject {
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    /* The line below duplicates a function definition at two different
     * locations because of MOC. */
    inline QQmlComponent* getComponent() const {return m_component;}

We don't need this file to have its coverage checked since it's generated from an XML file, so let's just ignore it from the coverage entirely.

Fixes #28533 (closed) #28490 (closed)
