Research direction

Start by following the Coverity Scan project registration steps for boostorg/program_options, then review the Travis CI settings for the project. Done means the Coverity token and notification email are configured, builds are private, and weekly cron jobs are set for develop and master.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Now that the ci PR was merged, we can enable Coverity Scan integration. As admin of the repository you will need to go to scan.coverity.com and sign in with your github account, and do "Add Project" -> "Register my GitHub Project" -> select the boostorg/program_options project to add. After that, you need to take the project token on the project settings page and put it into your Travis CI settings for the boostorg/program_options builds, and make them private (there's a toggle):

COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN (set to the token from coverity scan)
COVERITY_SCAN_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL (set to your email so you get notified on completed builds)

At some point I might put together some better instructions on how to do this with pictures...

Also recommend setting up a weekly cron on develop and master in travis CI.
