This provides a way to mark a package as superseded by another one.
Upgrades replace superseded packages with their replacement.
* guix/packages.scm (package-superseded, deprecated-package): New
procedures.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Check for 'package-superseded'.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry)[supersede]: New
procedure. Call it when 'package-superseded' is true.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Add test for a superseded package.
* tests/packages.scm ("package-superseded")
("transaction-upgrade-entry, superseded package"): New tests.
Fixes a thinko introduced in 1b846da8c3
that would lead to a backtrace when looking for an unknown package.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Correct logic when checking for
FALLBACK?.
Fixes a typo introduced in 1b846da8c3 that
would lead to a backtrace when using the deprecated syntax.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Turn the first argument to
'call-with-values' into a thunk. Use #:select instead of '@' to select
the right 'package-name->name+version' procedure.
This provides the ability to use numbers in package names.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19219>.
* guix/utils.scm (package-name->name+version): New procedure.
* gnu/packages.scm (%find-package): Add a FALLBACK? keyword argument.
Use the previous method when no package is found.
(specification->package+output, specification->package): Adapt
documentation to new syntax.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix package, Invoking guix import): Likewise.
* guix/ui.scm (package-specification->name+version+output): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/import/hackage.scm (show-help): Likewise.
* tests/guix-build.sh: Adapt to new syntax.

* NEWS: Mention new syntax.
These procedures are now redundant with those in (guix graph) and are no
longer used since commit a51cbecb.
* gnu/packages.scm (vhash-refq, package-dependencies)
(package-direct-dependents, package-transitive-dependents)
(package-covering-dependents): Remove.
This is a followup to 0a7c5a0.

* gnu/packages.scm (check-package-freshness): Update to the new (guix
upstream) interface.
* gnu/packages.scm (find-packages-by-name): Sort MATCHING according to
'version>?'. Use 'string-prefix?' instead of 'string=?' to compare
against VERSION.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix package): Add example and explanation.
* guix/ui.scm (warn-about-load-error): New procedure.
* gnu/packages.scm (package-modules): Wrap 'resolve-interface' call in
'catch #t', and call 'warn-about-load-error' in handler.
* gnu/packages.scm (search-patch): Raise an error condition when
'search-path' returns #f.

test.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19364>.
Reported by Tomáš Čech <sleep_walker@suse.cz>

in a promise; access it with 'vhash-fold*'.

previous version of 'warning'.
