[Bioperl-l] Travis CI build improvements

[Peter Cock]

Good idea - we've spent time doing similar work for Biopython,
although we settled on codecov.io rather than coveralls.io -
both support Perl projects:

https://github.com/codecov/example-perl

Note that Biopython's coverage figures reported here hover
at around 80% based on TravisCI Linux testing only, where
we exclude our online tests and do not have all the optional
dependencies installed:

https://codecov.io/github/biopython/biopython/

I would expect BioPerl to face similar challenges in tracking
test coverage vs optional dependencies.
