pack: Add '--symlink'.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball): Add #:symlinks parameter. [build](symlink->directives): New procedure (directives): New variable. Add call to 'evaluate-populate-directive'. Pass the directories among DIRECTIVES to 'tar'. (%default-options): Add 'symlinks'. (%options, show-help): Add '--symlink'. (guix-pack): Honor it. * gnu/build/install.scm (evaluate-populate-directive): Export. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix pack): Document it.

+Users of this pack would have to run
