Update coverage rc files (#2022)

* Add comments to coverage_system_tests.rc

* Add clarity to coverage_unit_tests.rc

* further clarify unit tests coverage

* reorganize unit test omissions

* omit  */nidigital/enums.py from unit test coverage
I don't believe there's anything special about these enums that we shouldn't just fall back on nifake unit test coverage

* Explain */niscope/measurement_stat.py omission

* add pb2 omissions

* Add grpc_session_options.py omissions

* Omit history_ram_cycle_information.py from unit tests

* Don't omit session.py from system test coverage

* Remove mention of session.py in coverage_system_tests.rc omit list
