archiver: fix race condition during worker startup

When the tomb is created with a canceled context, then the workers
started via `t.Go` exist nearly immediately. Once for the first time all
started goroutines have been stopped, it is not allowed to issue further
calls to `t.Go`. This is a problem when the started goroutines exit
immediately, as for example the first goroutine might already have
stopped before starting the second one, which is not allowed as once the
first goroutines has stopped no goroutines were running.

To fix this race condition the startup and main task of the archiver now
also run within a `t.Go` function. This also allows unifying the error
handling as it is no longer necessary to distinguish between errors
returned by the workers or the saveTree processing. The tomb now just
returns the first error encountered, which should also be the most
descriptive one.
