store: 'build-things' accepts derivation/output pairs.
This allows callers to request the substitution of a single derivation output. * guix/store.scm (build-things): Accept derivation/output pairs among THINGS. * guix/derivations.scm (build-derivations): Likewise. * tests/store.scm ("substitute + build-things with specific output"): New test. * tests/derivations.scm ("build-derivations with specific output"): New test. * doc/guix.texi (The Store): Adjust accordingly.
