Previously, the channel instance to derivation mapping would be
independent of the system. Thus, building the same channel instance for
several different systems would always return the derivation that was
first computed.

With newer Wheel releases, there is no more metadata.json file; the METADATA

This change updates our PyPI importer so that it uses the latter.
* guix/import/pypi.scm (define-module): Remove unnecessary modules and export
the PARSE-WHEEL-METADATA procedure.
(parse-wheel-metadata): Add procedure.
(guess-requirements): Use it.
* tests/pypi.scm (test-metadata): Test it.
This change enables the PyPI importer to look for requirements in a source
archive of a different type than "tar.gz" or "tar.bz2". Also, scan the source
archive to find a requires.txt file.
* guix/import/pypi.scm: (guess-requirements)[tarball-directory]: Remove procedure.
[guess-requirements-from-source]: Use COMRESSED-FILE? to determine if an
archive type is supported, and some file extension logic that chooses either
"tar" or "unzip" as the extractor. Search for the requires.txt file in the
archive instead of using a static, expected location.
(guess-requirements): Rename the TARBALL argument to ARCHIVE, to denote the
archive format is no longer bound specifically to the Tar format.
(compute-inputs): Likewise.
* tests/pypi.scm ("pypi->guix-package, no wheel"): Mock the requires.txt at a
non-standard location.

%requirement-name-regexp to select the requirement name from the requirement

(parse-requires.txt): Adapt.
* guix/import/pypi.scm: Export PARSE-REQUIRES.TXT.
(clean-requirement): Move procedure to the top level.
(guess-requirements): Move the READ-REQUIREMENTS procedure to the top level,
and rename it to PARSE-REQUIRES.TXT. Move the CLEAN-REQUIREMENT procedure to
the top level. Move the COMMENT? functions inside the PARSE-REQUIRES.TXT
procedure.
(parse-requires.txt): Add a SECTION-HEADER? predicate, and use it to prevent
parsing optional requirements.
* tests/pypi.scm (test-requires-with-sections): New variable.
("parse-requires.txt, with sections"): New test.
PyPI packages are mandated to have a setup.py file, which contains a listing
of the required dependencies. The setuptools/distutils machinery embed
metadata in the archives they produce, which contains this information. There
is no need nor gain to collect the requirements from a "requirements.txt"
file, as it is not the true record of dependencies for PyPI packages and may
contain extraneous requirements or not exist at all.
* guix/import/pypi.scm (guess-requirements): Update comment.
[guess-requirements-from-source]: Do not attempt to parse the file
requirements.txt. Streamline logic.
* tests/pypi.scm (test-requires.txt): Rename from test-requirements, to hint
at the file being tested.

file rather than a requirements.txt file.

* guix/import/crate.scm (maybe-cargo-development-inputs): Same.

* guix/derivations.scm (build-derivations): Accept <derivation-input>

* tests/derivations.scm ("build-derivations with specific output"): Test
it.
Consequently, the whole graph of <derivation> object is readily
available without having to go through 'read-derivation-from-file',
which could have cache misses if the requested <derivation> object had
been GC'd in the meantime. This is an important property for the
performance of things like 'derivation-build-plan' that traverse the
derivation graph.
* guix/derivations.scm (<derivation-input>): Replace 'path' field by

* guix/ui.scm (show-what-to-build)[build-or-substitutable?]: Remove.
Use 'derivation-build-plan' instead of
'derivation-prerequisites-to-build', passing it all of DRV at once, and
remove 'fold2' shenanigans and postprocessing of BUILD.
The new 'derivation-build-plan' procedure has a more appropriate
signature: it takes a list of <derivation-inputs> instead of taking one
<derivation>. Its body is also much simpler.
* guix/derivations.scm (derivation-build-plan): New procedure.
(derivation-prerequisites-to-build): Express in terms of

Previously we'd make 502 'query-valid-derivers' RPCs for
"guix build vim -d", and after this patch, we don't do any.
Furthermore, the previous strategy was "stateful" in the sense that
'item->deriver' could return a derivation that is not the one that was
actually computed by this process, but an "equivalent" one (due to
fixed-output derivations); which one is chosen would depend on the state
of the store.
This in turn means that we'd have to call 'read-derivation-from-file' to
actually read .drv files (as opposed to getting them from
%DERIVATION-CACHE). This is costly and doesn't work with
GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://….
* guix/grafts.scm (item->deriver): Remove.
(reference-origin): New procedure.
(cumulative-grafts): Use it instead of 'item->deriver'.
Previously, '--log-file' would look for log files only for the current

that produce the same output.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (guix-build) <log-file?>: Replace
'derivation-file-name' by 'derivation->output-path'.
Hackage packages can have metadata revisions (Cabal file only) that are
not reflected in the source archive. The Haskell build system has
