guix system: Simplify closure copy.

* guix/scripts/system.scm (copy-item): Add 'references' argument and
remove 'references*' call.  Turn into a non-monadic procedure.
(copy-closure): Remove initial call to 'references*'.  Only pass ITEM to
'topologically-sorted*' since that's equivalent.  Compute the list of
references corresponding to TO-COPY and pass it to 'copy-item'.
