Move push to codecov to its own job in Actions (#455)

Remove the push to codecov step from the `test` job into a new job that
depends on the test job. Upload the coverage reports as artifacts after
testing, and reuse the artifacts in the new job. Upload all coverage
reports in a single push to Codecov to minimize the number of hits.
