platforms: Raise an exception when no suitable platform is found.
This was motivated by #60786, which produced a cryptic, hard to understand backtrace. Given the following reproducer: (use-modules (guix packages) (gnu packages cross-base)) (define linux-libre-headers-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 (cross-kernel-headers "mips64el-linux-gnuabi64")) (package-arguments linux-libre-headers-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64) Before this change: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: In procedure struct-vtable: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting struct): #f After this change: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: ERROR: 1. &platform-not-found-error: "mips64el-linux-gnuabi64" * guix/platform.scm (&platform-not-found-error): New condition. (platform-not-found-error?): New predicate. (false-if-platform-not-found): New syntax. (lookup-platform-by-system): Raise an exception when no platform is found. Update documentation. (lookup-platform-by-target): Likewise. (lookup-platform-by-target-or-system): Likewise, and guard lookup calls with false-if-platform-not-found. * gnu/packages/bootstrap.scm (glibc-dynamic-linker): Handle lookup-platform-by-system call to preserve existing behavior.
