import: Gracefully report import failures.
Previously, something like 'guix import gnu which' would spit out a backtrace if, say, the 'which' tarball could not be authenticated. * guix/upstream.scm (download-tarball): Mention failure modes in docstring. * guix/import/gnu.scm (gnu-package->sexp): Return #f when 'download-tarball' returns #f. * guix/scripts/import.scm (guix-import): Call 'leave' when IMPORTER does not return a (package ...) sexp.
