Add (guix lzlib).

* guix/lzlib.scm, tests/lzlib.scm: New files.
* Makefile.am (MODULES): Add guix/lzlib.scm.
(SCM_TESTS): Add tests/lzlib.scm.
* m4/guix.m4 (GUIX_LIBLZ_LIBDIR): New macro.
* configure.ac (LIBLZ_LIBDIR): Use it.  Define and substitute
'LIBLZ'.
* guix/config.scm.in (%liblz): New variable.
* guix/self.scm (make-config.scm): Add TODO comment.

+;;; Bindings to the lzlib / liblz API.  Some convenience functions are also
+;;; provided (see the export).
+;;;
+;;; While the bindings are complete, the convenience functions only support
+;;; single member archives.  To decompress single member archives, we loop
+;;; until lz-decompress-read returns 0.  This is simpler.  To support multiple
+;;; members properly, we need (among others) to call lz-decompress-finish and
+;;; loop over lz-decompress-read until lz-decompress-finished? returns #t.
+;;; Otherwise a multi-member archive starting with an empty member would only
+;;; decompress the empty member and stop there, resulting in truncated output.
