Basically, lcov has support for different versions of gcov and has
some sort of backward compatibility with older versions of lcov
tool. In practice, those fields aren't either be filled anymore for
a long time or just provide duplicated (incomplete) information.

The rationale behind this patch is to remove those duplicated info
from old versions that are either duplicated or not filled anymore
by gcov/lcov versions on Ubuntu 18.04 and above[1]. 

[1] btw, this script was never tested with versions older than
what's there on Ubuntu 18.04, so what has been removed is something
that it was not really used in practice.
