sys-apps/guix: new package, the GNU Purely Functional Package Manager

Internal data model and command UI is a lot like
one of sys-apps/nix.

Package description mechanism is a bit different
in both surface syntax (guile vs nix expression language)
and evaluation method (compiled versus lazy loaded configs)

guix (as well as nix) is a source-based package manager with
strong support for binary packages. It uses multiple tricks
to make package source dependencies robust:

- guix installs every package into it's own --prefix=.
  Example: /gnu/store/6np03bm99hg7gprcwmzpbpaj00cka8p8-icecat-45.5.1-gnu1
- guix builds packages with PATH (and similar) only including explicitly
  listed depends. This eliminates automagic dependency.
- guix tracks full environment where package was built.
  Once environment changes new package needs to be built.

That's how you install firef^Wicecat just for your current user:

    $ guix package --install icecat
