guix build: Support '--with-source=PACKAGE@VERSION=URI'.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (numeric-extension?, tarball-base-name): New
procedures, formerly in 'package-with-source'.
(transform-package-source)[new-sources]: Look for '=' in URI. Each
element of the list of now a (PKG VERSION SOURCE) tuple.
Pass VERSION to 'package-with-source'.
(package-with-source): Add 'version' parameter and honor it.
* tests/scripts-build.scm ("options->transformation, with-source, PKG=URI")
("options->transformation, with-source, PKG@VER=URI"): New tests.
* doc/guix.texi (Package Transformation Options): Document the new
forms.
