Subject: Add "tags" field to package record?

Hi Guix,

What about adding an optional "tags" field to the package record?

Tags would be arbitrary (e.g. "editor", "video", "music", etc.) and
useful for package exploration, both from commandline and guix.el I
suppose.

I think it's pretty much all that's missing to completely supersede
reference pages like
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications.

Since it's optional, it would be backward compatible with the current
package declarations.

Insights?
