Yes, I agree that this should be the first option to support.  Attached
is a second attempt: I removed the FIXME and moved `directory' to
channel-metadata.

A downside could be that this could make a channel user dependent on
upstream to provide this `.guix-channel' file; probably best to worry
about that when the need arises :)
