This patch series contains improvements to the crate importer.

The first patch fixes the memoization in crate-recursive-import.

The second patch allows for including the cargo-development-inputs also in
recursively imported crates by specifying --recursive-dev-dependencies, such
that the tests of all imported crates can be run.

The third patch removes the dependency of a test in tests/crate.scm on an
existing crate in gnu/packages/crates.io.

Sometimes, it can happen that a crate requires a dependency for which only a
yanked version exists, which is addressed in the fourth patch. Instead of
simply failing, I changed the behavior to also import yanked versions if no
non-yanked version exists. Then, they can be used anyway or be manually
patched out from the dependent packages. Their packages obtain a different
package name (including the full version) and a package property marking them
as yanked. The logic to decide which version to use naturally became more
complicated as a result.

David Elsing (4):
  gnu: import: Fix memoization in crate-recursive-import.
  import: crate: Optionally import dev-dependencies recursively.
  tests: Mock find-packages-by-name in crate importer test.
  guix: import: Optionally import necessary yanked crates.

I've used this to great effect when writing my crates and the test file 
passes. This should definitely be merged into master soon as this is a 
necessity for me when writing crate definitions.

Thanks for fixing the crate importer, it will be vital when trying to 
port things like `iced-0.10` and `nushell-0.88` into rust-team.


What do you think Efraim?

Looks good to me.  Patches pushed!
