This introduces two sync.Cond pointers to the archiver package. If they're
non-nil when we go to process a request, we'll wait until signalled (at all)
to proceed. The tests will then create the sync.Cond so that it can signal
at-will and sanity-check the state of the queue at different phases.
The author believes that nil-checking these two sync.Cond pointers on every
archive processing will introduce minimal overhead with no impact on
maintainability.
Some, or perhaps even most, archives will not take all that long to archive.
The archive process starts as soon as the download button is initially
clicked, so in theory they could be done quite quickly. Drop the initial
delay down to three-quarters of a second to make it more responsive in the
common case of the archive being quickly created.
The prime benefit being sought here is for large archives to not
clog up the rendering process and cause unsightly proxy timeouts.
As a secondary benefit, archive-in-progress is moved out of the
way into a /tmp file so that new archival requests for the same
commit will not get fulfilled based on an archive that isn't yet
finished.
This asynchronous system is fairly primitive; request comes in, we'll
spawn off a new goroutine to handle it, then we'll mark it as done.
Status requests will see if the file exists in the final location,
and report the archival as done when it exists.
