Attachment: Bug 1546870 - Make extracting .tar.xz work with mach artifact toolchain.

For some reason, using tar -Jxf with Windows paths fails, and that makes
mach artifact toolchain unable to pull .tar.xz archives on Windows.

However, executing xz -d -c works, and we can feed its output to
python's tarfile.

This uniformizes the artifact name across platforms. We may want to do
the same for other toolchains, but it bears the question whether xz is
reliably available on users' Windows machines, while it doesn't matter
for rust, since mach bootstrap pulls it with rustup rather than from
automation, contrary to other toolchains.
