[bug#34948] [PATCH 1/3] records: Allow thunked fields to refer to 'this-record'.

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

* guix/records.scm (this-record): New syntax parameter.
(make-syntactic-constructor)[wrap-field-value]: When F is thunked,
return a one-argument lambda instead of a thunk, and parameterize
THIS-RECORD.
(define-record-type*)[thunked-field-accessor-definition]: Pass X
to (real-get X).
* tests/records.scm ("define-record-type* & thunked & this-record")
("define-record-type* & thunked & default & this-record")
("define-record-type* & thunked & inherit & this-record"): New tests.
