Bug #62014	No build rules for archive_reader and archive_test with CMake

Description:
The archive storage engine code comes with two tools archive_reader and archive_test which the autotools build system built together with the engine but excluded from installation so that they were only available from a self built source tree.

There are no equivalent CMake rules for this so the two tools can't be built at all anymore with the generated Makefiles, making the archive_reader.c and archive_test.c files dead code.

How to repeat:
Check the storage/archive/CMakeLists.txt file for any rules regarding archive_reader.c and archive_test.c, unlike in the prior Makefile.am there aren't any ...

Suggested fix:
Restore old build behavior (preferred), or get rid of the unused archive_reader.c and archive_test.c files.

Thank you for the bug report. Verified with current mysql-5.5 from bzr by code review.
