Why I did it
The gcovr package used to have lcov as a runtime dependency. However, that was removed in Debian bug 987818. However, autoconf's code coverage macro file expects lcov and genhtml to be present. This macro is used in sonic-swss-common and likely other submodules.

How I did it
It's possible that lcov and genhtml are actually not needed for generating the report, and that gcovr is enough. For now, though, just add lcov (which includes genhtml) into the slave container.
