Compress and upload the jjb-verify XML files

The present jjb-verify job that calls lftools maven
deploy archives for releng/builder which takes about ~8 mins to
complete uploading the archives. This is because the job generates
around ~2.3K XML files (small files) which is uploaded to Nexus.
This is possibly because the Nexus Unpack plugin in the Nexus
end unpacking the zip file we upload takes longer.

It's best to compress this into a single file and upload
to Nexus, potentially minimizing the Nexus logs from
bloating up since we have been seeing higher IOPs
and load managing these files in the backend cron jobs.

Compressing the job files before hand shaves off around
6-8 mins from the upload time, therefore reducing the
job time overall significantly.
