Since commit 9ffc1c00e5,
'find-newest-available-packages' and 'find-packages-by-name' were both
building a vhash mapping package names to packages. This factorizes
this bit, also reducing I/O, CPU, and memory usage.
* gnu/packages.scm (find-best-packages-by-name): Remove.
(find-best-packages-by-name): Use 'find-packages-by-name' instead of
'find-newest-available-packages'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/28446>.
Reported by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
* gnu/packages.scm (find-packages-by-name): Use 'version-prefix?'
instead of 'string-prefix?'.
This reduces the closure of (guix discovery) from 28 to 8 modules.

This provides a way to mark a package as superseded by another one.
Upgrades replace superseded packages with their replacement.
* guix/packages.scm (package-superseded, deprecated-package): New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* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Check for 'package-superseded'.

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>.
