On foreign distros, not using pre-inst-env when using git-send-email results
in a backtrace ending with: no code for module (guix ui)
This can be confusing as users did not have to use pre-inst-env to use
git-send-email before.
* doc/contributing.texi (Sending a Patch Series): add a note to suggest using
pre-inst-env when calling git-send-email on foreign distros.

Previously, the image repository name was automatically computed from
the packages in the manifest without allowing the user to set a custom
one. As such, changing the packages in the manifest would result in a
new image name. Thereby requiring updating documentation et cetera when
using `docker load` directory on the resulting image.
Inspired by `docker build -t`, this commit adds a new Docker-specific
option to `guix pack` which allows setting a custom repository name for
the resulting image. If this option is not specified, pack falls back
to computing the name from the manifest. Therefore, this change is
entirely backwards compatible.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (guix-pack): Add --image-tag option.
(%docker-format-options): New constant.

Resolve a circular module dependencies in embedded modules
This series is the culmination of at least a day of effort tracking down the
source of a module dependency cycle (!). The last commit adds some guidelines
in the hope to avoid a repeat (perhaps 'lint' could be taught to
automate these checks).
