hadrian: Mitigate mktexfmt race
At least some versions of Texlive's `mktexfmt` utility cannot be invoked concurrently in their initial run since they fail to handle failure of `mkdir` due to racing. Specifically, we see ``` | Run Xelatex: users_guide.tex => /tmp/extra-dir-9616886274866 | Run Xelatex: Haddock.tex => /tmp/extra-dir-9616886274869 This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.999992 (TeX Live 2020) (preloaded format=xelatex) restricted \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf files (in precedence order): mktexfmt: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf file for writing changes: mktexfmt: /builds/ghc/ghc/tmp-home/.texlive2020/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/bin/mktexfmt: mkdir(/builds/ghc/ghc/tmp-home/.texlive2020/texmf-var/web2c/) failed for tree /builds/ghc/ghc/tmp-home/.texlive2020/texmf-var/web2c: File exists at /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 937. I can't find the format file `xelatex.fmt'! ``` That is two `mktexfmt` invocations (for the user's guide and haddock builds) attempted to create `$HOME/texlive2020/texmf-var/web2c` and raced. One of the two `mkdir`'s consequently failed, bringing down the entire build. We avoid this by ensuring that the first `xelatex` invocation is always performed serially. Fixes #25564.
