As of three months ago, Git for Windows' [Coverity builds
fail](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/actions/workflows/coverity.yml?query=branch%3Amain).
The reason is most likely the most recent release, 2025.3. Its [release
notes](https://documentation.blackduck.com/bundle/coverity-docs/page/webhelp-files/relnotes_latest.html)
do not shed any light into the issue (and does not mention that they
bundle JDK20 and JDK22 in addition to JRE, because what's better than a
single Java installation: three, right?).
My investigation turned up `.dll` files that are located in Coverity's
`bin/` directory which have the same name as `.dll` files in Git for
Windows' SDK. As a consequence, the former override the latter and throw
off MSYS2's logic to find the MSYS2 root directory given the location of
certain `.dll` files.
This PR fixes this issue, and while at it, enhances the Coverity
workflow to print out the build log in case of failure.
