[bug#39753] [PATCH] guix: swh: Handle absolute URLs being returned by the API.

[Jakub Kądziołka]

* guix/swh.scm (swh-url): Don't prepend (%swh-base-url) if a domain is
  already present.

This fixes the "guix lint: warning: while connecting to Software Heritage:
host lookup failure: Name or service not known" error message.
