Use NGen native images

If selected, .NET Framework runtime will be allowed to load application's native images during coverage analysis. This may speed up the analysis: The application under coverage executes faster. Note that in some cases, using NGen images might be not possible. This will result in an application exception in case of getting coverage of an app and inconclusive tests in case of getting coverage of unit tests. In both cases, the setting must be disabled.
