When inserting instructions that encode a pc-relative offset, don't use
a method that depends on getting a pointer to the newly inserted method.
Use the new nextinstrOffset() method when computing the encoding of the
pc-relative offset, and only insert each instruction once.
Propagate OOM from calls to buffer.allocEntry, folowing the approach in
the ARM assembler.
Compressing C++ unit tests is a long pole when writing test archives.
Experimenting with various levels of compression revealed that
compression level 9 was providing minimal space savings for
significantly longer archiving times and greater CPU usage.
Results of our experimentation of `make -sj8 package-tests` on OS X
with various levels of compression are below. Note: these numbers were
accidentally obtained without JS tests being archived. This skews the
results a little but doesn't impact the analysis below.

Levels lower than 3 resulted in larger archives with no decreae in
wall time and marginal decrease in CPU time.
As we can see, lowering the compression level reduces archiving time by
>3x while only increasing total archive size by ~2.5 MB or ~1% for
compression level 5.
Total time hits a plateau around levels 4 and 5. After that, file size
increases faster for little decrease in wall time. I suspect that we're
hitting Python limits from having to process thousands of files: there's
only so fast Python can do I/O and make function calls.
I think choosing 4 or 5 for the new compression level are acceptable.
I went with 5 because the wall time savings from 5 to 4 are marginal and
the archive size does start to increase a bit faster at 4. That being
said, 4 does consume 10% less CPU. I could easily just 4 as well. 5 is
more conservative. We can always change to 4 after seeing results in the
wild.
The end result of this change is `make package-tests` is much faster:
Before: 228,146,761 bytes; 31.2s wall; 75.9s CPU
After: 230,725,600 bytes; 11.4s wall; 45.0s CPU
Delta: +2,578,839 bytes; -19.8s wall; -30.9s CPU
When you take the whole series into consideration:
Before: 44.2s wall; 84.6s CPU
After: 11.4s wall; 45.0s CPU
Lowering CPU is impressive considering we switched from the C `zip`
implementation to Python!
Keep in mind we were at ~78s wall before e87b74b3db43 introduced
concurrent archive generation!
And we still haven't eliminated the staging of JS tests, which are
several thousand files and a few dozen MB!

Metrics are nice. Adding this output clearly demonstrates that C++ unit
tests are the long pole by far: they take ~95% of wall execution time
to archive (~30s total). The next longest archive only takes ~11s to
produce. This will be important if we ever want to reduce archive time
further on optimal hardware.
FWIW, disabling compression will produce a C++ unit test archive in
1.0s. Archives with more files take longer, despite the significantly
smaller sizes.

Won't impact performance much. But fewer make foo makes porting the C++
unit tests (which are the largest remaining tests) to the Python
archiver easier to grok.
This conversion did change behavior slightly. Previously, startup
cache files weren't being packaged if startup cache was disabled. Now,
we always package them since their presence in the test archive should
be harmless. The original change to guard their inclusion in
ee82e0ae5488 was probably unnecessary.

This is slightly more involved than earlier changes because reftests
have a one-off mechanism for finding files. Essentially, the master
reftest manifest is loaded, directories are discovered, and every file
in those directories is packaged.
We add support to our test archive generation tool to read sources from
reftest manifests and tell it where the reftest manifests are.
print-manifest-dirs.py was only being used for staging reftest files.
Since we don't do that any more, the functionality doesn't need to exist
in a standalone file, so it has been moved inline into test_archive.py.
This change avoids copying ~26,000 tests consuming 131 MB during test
packaging. This is a majority of the file count that was remaining in
the stage directory at this point. On my machine (which hasn't typically
seen major wall time wins from not staging files due to its fast SSD),
this change made test packaging ~20% faster, reducing wall time from
~50s to ~40s!
A Try push seemed to indicate drastic results with the series up to this
point. Including the already landed changes to generate test archives
concurrently, test packaging times on OS X builders dropped from ~18:40
to 6:29! Times on Linux x64 remained about the same (~2:46). This is
possibly due to these machines already having SSDs and due to normal
variance in performance of builders and EC2 instances.

This is very similar to what we did for xpcshell. Like xpcshell, there
are still some staged files. However, about 73MB of copies are
eliminated with this change. On my machine, overall execution time of

This commit produces the xpcshell test archive without staging 5000+
xpcshell test files first.
We teach the archiver to ignore .mkdir.done files.
The xpcshell Makefile.in still stages some files. This is less than
ideal. However, it is a small handful of files and shouldn't add too
much overhead.
This appears to not impact overall CPU usage significantly on my
machine, despute using Python instead of `zip`. It does reduce I/O
by ~25MB by avoiding the staging copy.

Test archive generation currently copies a bunch of files into a staging
area then runs `zip` to produce ZIP files. There are 2 concerns with
this approach:
1) We incur a lot of extra I/O to copy files so everything is
rooted in a single tree so the `zip` invocation and paths are
simple.
2) ZIP files inherit properties from the local filesystem (including
mtime), making ZIP files non-deterministic.
This commit introduces a new mozbuild action for producing test
archives. It does so using the mozpack file finder and JAR writer,
which are used throughout the build to deterministically
produce ZIP/JAR files from files in multiple source directories.
We implement support for producing the mozharness archive. This archive
does not involve files that are staged, so no I/O is saved. In fact,
the switch from `zip` to Python likely makes this slightly slower.
However, we do have deterministic archives now.
Additional archives will be ported over in subsequent commits.
