build-system/channel: Add support for additional channels.
Until now, ‘channel-build-system’ would assume a single channel, the ‘guix’ channel. This change lets users specify additional channels using the #:channels parameter. * guix/build-system/channel.scm (build-channels): Add #:channels and honor it. (channel-build-system): In ‘lower’, add #:channels and honor it. * doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Document it. Change-Id: I36c1d19cbeee02a4d1144de089b78df0390774a0
