Watching this go by as part of misc reminds me it's fairly slow on windows and can probably just be interleaved with compile.

This should be as simple as adding "node.stub" to https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/2a355e56c490768be676689de18629485c9d699b/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/frontend/data.py#1233

This wasn't quite as simple as I thought. Adding node to compile outright means we skip it during artifact builds. We want a place to put it that means it runs whether or not we're doing an artifact build, but can run in parallel with things that would happen in compile.
