[issue7275] CoverageResult fails to merge input file with non-empty callers in trace.py (patch)

New submission from Christian Glinsvad <glinsvad[at]hotmail.com>:

CoverageResults expects arguments in the order "counts, calledfuncs,
infile, callers..." but the try statement in the last part of __init__
passes "counts, calledfuncs, callers" as positional arguments to a new
instance of the same class. Thus, the secondary instance erroneously
obtains a dict for the "infile" argument, so I propose passing "callers"
as a keyword argument to avoid this.

Not that this has gone unnoticed because an empty dict for the "infile"
argument evaluates to False in "if self.infile:", which must have been
intended as "if self.infile is not None:". If, however, the original
instance loads a pickle file with a non-empty "callers" argument, the
secondary instance tries to run "open({}, 'rb')", which yields:

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, dict found
