JaCoCo plugin should provide a way to verify that given code metrics are met

[eriwen]

Users need a way to check that code coverage meets a given standard.

Expected Behavior

A provided task or task configuration such that one can choose to fail the build if a certain level is not achieved with the current build.

Current Behavior

No coverage verification built-in.

Context

This is a very highly voted feature request.

The implementation shouldn't be too hard - the underlying Ant tasks provide a way to pass appropriate values and fail the build if metrics are not met.

There is also an incomplete attempt at this that can be learned from.

In-built support should be very helpful. I've been using a workaround with some custom code for this purpose. Sample Jacoco configuration can be found here: https://github.com/jiakuan/apuava/blob/master/gradle/jacoco.gradle
