fix: Add robust error handling for flagstat parsing in bedtools genomecov

- Handle cases where flagstat files don't match expected regex patterns
- Try multiple flagstat format patterns for compatibility
- Fall back to default scale factor with warning for stub tests
- Prevent index out of range errors during scale factor calculation
