c8 runs out of memory on versioned tests runs

[bizob2828]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We've had issues recently where the number of test executions is pushing c8 to the limit and running out of heap memory. We tried working around this by only running versioned tests with c8 when the --major flag is on. This is not foolproof.

Feature Description

Collect coverage on versioned tests that does not cause c8 to run out of memory. One suggestion was to only run nightly and run with SAMPLES=1 to cut down on the version matrix.

I wasn't a fan of any of the bandaids. I will file a PR to extract this portion of the k2 versioned tests so c8 doesn't run on certain runs. But the holistic solution would be to address at the source which is bcoe/c8#469. Hopefully I can get the maintainer to review and merge and release it
