[bug#51493] [PATCH 2/5] import: cran: Allow imports of a specific version.

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

* guix/import/cran.scm (download): Handle the case where URL is a list.
(fetch-description-from-tarball): New procedure.
(fetch-description): Add #:version parameter.  Honor it when REPOSITORY
is 'cran.  Use 'fetch-description-from-tarball' when REPOSITORY is
'bioconductor.
(description->package): SOURCE-URL may now be a list.
(cran->guix-package): Pass VERSION to 'fetch-description'.
(cran-recursive-import): Add #:version parameter.
* guix/scripts/import/cran.scm (guix-import-cran): Expect a spec rather
than a mere package name.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix import): Document it.

 When @option{--recursive} is added, the importer will traverse the
 dependency graph of the given upstream package recursively and generate
 package expressions for all those packages that are not yet in Guix.
