Correction. These variables are not taken into account if given as
environment variables, but they are if given as make arguments.
Moreover, --legend makes lcov die. So, apparently this one works:

make coverage-html LCOVFLAGS="-q --ignore-errors usage" GENHTML_FLAGS="-q --legend --ignore-errors unmapped,corrupt,inconsistent,range"

I also removed a file called .lcovrc that only had this line
lcov_branch_coverage = 0
though that doesn't appear to have automatically added branch coverage
to the report. However, I'll wait until the next run to see if anything
changes.

The CSS problem appears to have been a caching glitch, and now it works,
so I guess the cached file must have expired. It looks Christmas-treeish
again now.
