fix hard-coded timeout and error panic in API archive download endpoint (#20925)
* fix hard-coded timeout and error panic in API archive download endpoint

This commit updates the `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/archive/{archive}`
endpoint which prior to this PR had a couple of issues.

1. The endpoint had a hard-coded 20s timeout for the archiver to complete after
   which a 500 (Internal Server Error) was returned to client. For a scripted
   API client there was no clear way of telling that the operation timed out and
   that it should retry.

2. Whenever the timeout _did occur_, the code used to panic. This was caused by
   the API endpoint "delegating" to the same call path as the web, which uses a
   slightly different way of reporting errors (HTML rather than JSON for
   example).

   More specifically, `api/v1/repo/file.go#GetArchive` just called through to
   `web/repo/repo.go#Download`, which expects the `Context` to have a `Render`
   field set, but which is `nil` for API calls. Hence, a `nil` pointer error.

The code addresses (1) by dropping the hard-coded timeout. Instead, any
timeout/cancelation on the incoming `Context` is used.

The code addresses (2) by updating the API endpoint to use a separate call path
for the API-triggered archive download. This avoids producing HTML-errors on
errors (it now produces JSON errors).
