Pull archive() in-line and delegate via recursive call, also for report.

The report action should delegate to archive; it previously (half) did this via duplicated code (and forgot to defragment empty lines, so the tally could be off, and kept silent about the archiving).

The do action directly invoked archive(); if the user had extended / modified the archive action via an eponymous custom action, it would not run. Therefore, always invoke archive through another call of todo.sh, so that a possible custom action is considered.
