Optimize "make check" and "make check-maybe"

* lisp/emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert-run-tests-batch): Print summary duration.

* test/Makefile.in (TEST_LOAD_EL): Set default to "no" for
targets all, check, and check-maybe.  (Bug#30807)

* test/README: Reflect recent changes in Makefile.

* test/lisp/net/tramp-archive-tests.el
(tramp-archive-test99-libarchive-tests): Tag it :unstable.
