I think we ought to add a sudo: stanza here to make it explicit if we
want the containerised or VM based trusty image here. I'm wildly
assuming we need lots of memory for this build so I would suggest:

 sudo: required

This doesn't actually skip anything - but you can't exit non-zero
without breaking the build. You would need to touch a file or something
to make run-coverity-scan skip its work.
