[ng] dist: fixup: run slower compressors first

For better parallelism in "make dist".  This was already the case
for mainline Automake, but our recent changes to the dist-related
code in Automake-NG had broken that invariant.

* automake.in (handle_dist): Here, use 'unshift' rather than
'push' on '@archive_formats'.
