shell: Cache profiles even when using package specs.

Browse source 
This enables profile caching not just when '-m' or '-f' is used, but
also when package specs are passed on the command line, as in:

  guix shell -D guix git

It also changes profile cache keys to include the system type, which was
previously ignored.

* guix/scripts/shell.scm (options-with-caching)[single-file-for-caching]:
Remove.
Call 'profile-cached-gc-root' instead; adjust to accept two values.
(profile-cache-primary-key): New procedure.
(profile-cache-key): Remove.
(profile-file-cache-key, profile-spec-cache-key): New procedures.
(profile-cached-gc-root): Rewrite to include functionality formally in
'single-file-for-caching', but extend to handle package specs.
* gnu/packages.scm (cache-is-authoritative?): Export.
* guix/transformations.scm (transformation-option-key?): New procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix shell): Move '--rebuild-cache'
documentation to the bottom, just above '--root'.  Explain caching and
how these two options relate to that.

@item --rebuild-cache
When using @option{--manifest}, @option{--file}, or when invoked without
arguments, @command{guix shell} caches the environment so that
subsequent uses are instantaneous. The cache is invalidated anytime the
file is modified.
The @option{--rebuild-cache} forces the cached environment to be

This is useful if you want to protect your environment from garbage
collection, to make it ``persistent''.
When this option is omitted, the environment is protected from garbage
collection only for the duration of the @command{guix shell}
session. This means that next time you recreate the same environment,
you could have to rebuild or re-download packages. @xref{Invoking guix

When this option is omitted, @command{guix shell} caches profiles so
that subsequent uses of the same environment are instantaneous---this is
comparable to using @option{--root} except that @command{guix shell}
takes care of periodically removing the least-recently used garbage
collector roots.
In some cases, @command{guix shell} does not cache profiles---e.g., if
transformation options such as @option{--with-latest} are used. In
those cases, the environment is protected from garbage collection only
for the duration of the @command{guix shell} session. This means that
next time you recreate the same environment, you could have to rebuild
