This patch defines a `gnunet-fetch' method, allowing for downloading
files from GNUnet by their GNUnet chk-URI.

This patch does not provide:
- a service configuration
- downloading substitutes from GNUnet
- fall-back to non-P2P (e.g. http://) or other P2P (e.g. ipfs://)
  systems
- downloading directories over GNUnet
- actual packages definitions using this method

Some issues and questions:
- (guix build gnunet) would call call-with-temporary-output-file
  from (guix utils), which isn't available when building derivations,
  so it has been copied to (guix build gnunet).  Is there any
  particular reason for call-with-temporary-output-file to be in
  (guix utils) and not (guix build utils)?
- Would it be possible somehow for url-fetch to support gnunet://fs/chk
  URIs? That way we could fall-back unto non-P2P URLs, which would be
  useful to bootstrap a P2P distribution from a non-P2P system.
- No timeouts have been implemented, so gnunet-download may spin
  forever if a source isn't available on GNUnet FS.

Some problematic points:
- (guix gnunet-download) calls gnunet-config from $PATH,
  to figure out connection details for (guix build gnunet)
- (guix build gnunet) requires the GNUnet FS daemon to bind
  to loopback, whereas a standard GNUnet setup would have
  the daemon bound to a Unix socket.

Example usage:

First make the GNUnet FS daemon accessible to Guix:
$ guix install gnunet
$ gnunet-config -s fs -o port -V 2094
$ gnunet-arm -s

Then publish the source tarball of the package to the GNUnet FS system:
$ guix environment --ad-hoc wget -- wget 
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz
$ gnunet-publish hello-2.10.tar.gz

The output should look like this:

> Publishing `$PWD/hello-2.10.tar.gz' done.
> URI is
> `gnunet://fs/chk/TY48PGS5RVX643NT2B7GDNFCBT4DWG692PF4YNHERR96K6MSFRZ4
> ZWRPQ4KVKZV29MGRZTWAMY9ETTST4B6VFM47JR2JS5PWBTPVXB0.8A9HRYABJ7HDA7B0P
> 37VG6D593>

The following test package can now be compiled:

$ cat > example.scm <<EOF
(define-module (example)
  #:use-module ((guix licenses)
                #:select (gpl3+))

  #:use-module (guix packages)
  #:use-module (guix utils)
  #:use-module (guix gnunet-download)
  #:use-module (guix build-system gnu)
  #:export (hello/gnunet))

(define-public hello/gnunet
