packages: Allow package lookups with version prefixes. 

* gnu/packages.scm (find-packages-by-name): Sort MATCHING according to

  against VERSION.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix package): Add example and explanation.

Each @var{package} may specify either a simple package name, such as
@code{guile}, or a package name followed by a hyphen and version number,
such as @code{guile-1.8.8}. If no version number is specified, the
such as @code{guile-1.8.8} or simply @code{guile-1.8} (in the latter
