Disable SimpleCov if you only run a fraction of your tests

Coverage reports are rarely useful if you run only small parts of your test suite.

Just do not load SimpleCov in this case, and you will see less noise in your test output:

if RSpec.configuration.files_to_run.count > 5
  require "simplecov"
  SimpleCov.start 'rails'
end
