packages: Have `package-derivation' return a <derivation> as a second value.
* guix/packages.scm (cache): Change the `drv' argument to `thunk'.
Memoize all the return values of THUNK.
(cached-derivation): Remove.
(cached): New macro.
(package-derivation): Use `cached' instead of `(or (cached-derivation) …)'.
