* guix/build-system/channel.scm (latest-channel-instances*): New
variable.
(build-channels): New procedure, with code formerly in
'channel-build-system', augmented with clauses for when SOURCE is a
channel instance or a channel.
* doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Adjust accordingly.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} channel-build-system
This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system channel)}.
This build system is meant primarily for internal use. It requires two
arguments, @code{#:commit} and @code{#:source}, and builds a Guix
instance from that channel, in the same way @command{guix time-machine}
would do it (@pxref{Channels}).
This build system is meant primarily for internal use. A package using
this build system must have a channel specification as its @code{source}
field (@pxref{Channels}); alternatively, its source can be a directory
name, in which case an additional @code{#:commit} argument must be
supplied to specify the commit being built (a hexadecimal string).
The resulting package is a Guix instance of the given channel, similar
to how @command{guix time-machine} would build it.
