doc: cookbook: Use "@lisp" for Scheme snippets.

* doc/guix-cookbook.texi: Use @lisp for Scheme snippets instead of
"@example scheme".  This allows for syntax highlighting of the HTML
output.

Anonymous functions are declared with the @code{lambda} term:
@example scheme
@lisp
> (lambda (x) (* x x))
#<procedure 120e348 at <unknown port>:24:0 (x)>
@end example
@end lisp
The above procedure returns the square of its argument. Since everything is
an expression, the @code{lambda} expression returns an anonymous procedure,
which can in turn be applied to an argument:
@example scheme
@lisp
> ((lambda (x) (* x x)) 3)
9
@end example
@end lisp
@item
Anything can be assigned a global name with @code{define}:
@example scheme
@lisp
> (define a 3)
> (define square (lambda (x) (* x x)))
> (square a)

Procedures can be defined more concisely with the following syntax:

A list structure can be created with the @code{list} procedure:
@example scheme
@lisp

(2 3 5 7)
@end example
@end lisp
@item
The @emph{quote} disables evaluation of a parenthesized expression: the first
term is not called over the other terms. Thus it effectively returns a list
of terms.
@example scheme
@lisp
> '(display (string-append "Hello " "Guix" "\n"))
(display (string-append "Hello " "Guix" "\n"))
> '(2 a 5 7)
(2 a 5 7)
@end example
@end lisp
@item
The @emph{quasiquote} disables evaluation of a parenthesized expression until
a comma re-enables it. Thus it provides us with fine-grained control over
what is evaluated and what is not.
@example scheme
@lisp
> `(2 a 5 7 (2 ,a 5 ,(+ a 4)))
(2 a 5 7 (2 3 5 7))
