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.
