Previously, we had a single make target and rule for generating all test
archives. These tasks can be performed in parallel. This commit
refactors the make file to add multiple targets for each archive and
thus enables test archives to be generated concurrently.
On my MacBook Pro, this reduces `make package-tests -j8` from ~78s to
~50s, a reduction of ~28s, or ~36%. Reduction on machines without SSDs
(like many builders in automation) will likely be less. Although, the
page cache should service most file reads during archiving since these
files were just staged, so hopefully the gains are in the same ballpark.

If you have a question about developing Mozilla, and can't find the solution
on http://developer.mozilla.org, you can try asking your question in a
mozilla.* Usenet group, or on IRC at irc.mozilla.org. [The Mozilla news groups
are accessible on Google Groups, or news.mozilla.org with a NNTP reader.]
You can download nightly development builds from the Mozilla FTP server.
Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla developers for
testing, may be buggy. Firefox nightlies, for example, can be found at:
