derivations: Determine what's built in 'check' mode.

* guix/derivations.scm (substitution-oracle): Add #:mode parameter and
honor it.
(derivation-prerequisites-to-build): Likewise.
[derivation-built?]: Take it into account.
* guix/ui.scm (show-what-to-build): Add #:mode parameter.  Pass it to
'substitute-oracle' and 'derivations-prerequisites-to-build'.
* tests/derivations.scm ("derivation-prerequisites-to-build in 'check'
mode"): New test.
