This provides a way to mark a package as superseded by another one.
Upgrades replace superseded packages with their replacement.
* guix/packages.scm (package-superseded, deprecated-package): New
procedures.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Check for 'package-superseded'.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry)[supersede]: New
procedure. Call it when 'package-superseded' is true.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add test for a superseded package.
* tests/packages.scm ("package-superseded")
("transaction-upgrade-entry, superseded package"): New tests.
Fixes a thinko introduced in 1b846da8c3
that would lead to a backtrace when looking for an unknown package.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Correct logic when checking for
FALLBACK?.
Fixes a typo introduced in 1b846da8c3 that
would lead to a backtrace when using the deprecated syntax.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Turn the first argument to
'call-with-values' into a thunk. Use #:select instead of '@' to select
the right 'package-name->name+version' procedure.
This provides the ability to use numbers in package names.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19219>.
* guix/utils.scm (package-name->name+version): New procedure.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Add a FALLBACK? keyword argument.
Use the previous method when no package is found.

documentation to new syntax.

These procedures are now redundant with those in (guix graph) and are no
longer used since commit a51cbecb.

* guix/ui.scm (warn-about-load-error): New procedure.
* gnu/packages.scm (package-modules): Wrap 'resolve-interface' call in
