If a substitute server advertises in its narinfo, for example, both a
/zstd and a /lzip URL but the /zstd URL is unreachable, try the /lzip
URL.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63634>.

* guix/narinfo.scm (narinfo-preferred-uris): New procedure.
(narinfo-best-uri): Rebase on top of it.
* guix/scripts/substitute.scm (download-nar)[try-fetch]: New procedure.
Use 'narinfo-preferred-uris' and 'try-fetch' to attempt all the URLs of
NARINFO.
* tests/substitute.scm (request-substitution): Remove 'parameterize'.
Delete DESTINATION.
("substitute, preferred nar URL is 404, other is 200"): New test.

I realized we can change ‘network-error?’ to ‘http-get-error?’ above.
Otherwise, we could find ourselves trying several nar URLs on the same
server when the error is ETIMEDOUT or ECONNREFUSED, which would be a
waste of time.
