channels: Allow news entries to refer to a tag.
Suggested by Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net>. * guix/channels.scm (<channel-news-entry>)[tag]: New field. (sexp->channel-news-entry): Accept either 'commit' or 'tag' in 'entry' forms. (resolve-channel-news-entry-tag): New procedure. (channel-news-for-commit): Move 'with-repository' form one level higher. Call 'resolve-channel-news-entry-tag' on all the news entries. * guix/tests/git.scm (populate-git-repository): Add clause for 'tag'. * tests/channels.scm ("channel-news, one entry"): Create a tag and add an entry with a tag. Check that the tag is resolved and also visible in the <channel-news-entry> record. * doc/guix.texi (Channels): Mention tags in news entries.
