guix: Add support for channel dependencies.

* guix/channels.scm (<channel-metadata>): New record.
(read-channel-metadata, channel-instance-dependencies): New procedures.
(latest-channel-instances): Include channel dependencies; add optional
argument PREVIOUS-CHANNELS.
(channel-instance-derivations): Build derivation for additional channels and
add it as dependency to the channel instance derivation.
* doc/guix.texi (Channels): Add subsection "Declaring Channel Dependencies".
* tests/channels.scm: New file.
* Makefile.am (SCM_TESTS): Add it.

@subsection Declaring Channel Dependencies
Channel authors may decide to augment a package collection provided by other
channels. They can declare their channel to be dependent on other channels in
a meta-data file @file{.guix-channel}, which is to be placed in the root of
the channel repository.
The meta-data file should contain a simple S-expression like this:
@lisp
(channel
(version 0)
(dependencies
(channel
(name 'some-collection)
(url "https://example.org/first-collection.git"))
(channel
(name 'some-other-collection)
(url "https://example.org/second-collection.git")
(branch "testing"))))
@end lisp
In the above example this channel is declared to depend on two other channels,
which will both be fetched automatically. The modules provided by the channel
will be compiled in an environment where the modules of all these declared
channels are available.
For the sake of reliability and maintainability, you should avoid dependencies
on channels that you don't control, and you should aim to keep the number of
dependencies to a minimum.
