monads: Fix 'mapm' so that effects happen from left to right.

* guix/monads.scm (mapm): Don't reverse LST, so that items are processed
  from left to right.  Bind the result of 'foldm' and reverse it.
* tests/monads.scm ("sequence"): Change 'frob' so it performs its side
  effect within an 'mlet' body.  Adjust call accordingly.
