Further improve simplecov setup

[rnelson0]

@alexjfisher I was provided this gist by @jairojunior who has been using it with simplecov. https://gist.github.com/jairojunior/b1ff5ae7cb3f989fc3dca273dbbfe888

"Just be careful with functions (lib/puppet/parser) tested with rspec-puppet, no coverage report is produced for them in Puppet 4, and erroneous reports with Puppet 3."

What do you think, would this be an improvement to our setup if the issues can be remediated? I'm not too wise in the ways of simplecov but definitely want to get it working right.

Same travis job with different puppet versions:

Puppet 3.8.7: https://coveralls.io/jobs/20651738/source_files/2100350401

Puppet 4.2.3: https://coveralls.io/jobs/20651727/source_files/2100347598

Spec: https://github.com/biemond/biemond-wildfly/blob/master/spec/functions/service_config_spec.rb

Might be related to how rspec-puppet matcher (run.with_params) exercises the function under test.

I've been exploring simplecov and rspec-puppet code for a week or two now in order to have better coverage reports for Puppet projects, but still couldn't dedicate enough time to actually solve something.

As soon as I release wildfly 1.0.0 I'll investigate this. 😄

Is this still relevant or shall we close it?
