Suggestion: disable offloading for texlive builds on hydra?

When texlive is built on hydra, the build slave that built it is tied up
for 12 hours or more waiting for the build outputs (over 3 gigabytes!)
to be transferred back to hydra.

By design, only one transfer can happen at a time from a given build
slave, so during those 12 hours, the build slave's CPU is left idle, and
typically another 3 built-but-not-yet-transferred packages must wait
until the texlive transfer finishes.

I suggest that we arrange for hydra.gnu.org to build texlive locally for
x86_64 and i686, to avoid this problem.

What do you think?
