monads: Add 'package->cross-derivation' and #:target for 'package-file'.

* guix/monads.scm (package-file): Add #:target keyword parameter and
  honor it.
  (package->cross-derivation): New procedure.
* tests/monads.scm ("package-file + package->cross-derivation"): New test.
* doc/guix.texi (The Store Monad): Update 'package-file' documentation.
  Add 'package->cross-derivation'.
