Before this change, only plain directories, tar or zip archives were supported
as the source of a package for the GNU build system; anything else would cause
the unpack phase to fail.  Origins relying on snippets would suffer from the
same problem.

This change adds the support to use files of the following extensions: .gz,
.Z, .bz2, .lz, and .xz, even when they are not tarballs.  Files of unknown
extensions are treated as uncompressed files and supported as well.

* guix/packages.scm (patch-and-repack): Only add the compressor utility to the
PATH when the file is compressed.  Bind more inputs in the mlet, and use them
for decompressing single files.  Adjust decompression and compression routines.
[decompression-type]: Return #f when no known compression extension is used.
[tarball?]: New nested procedure.
* guix/build/utils.scm (compressor, tarball?): New procedures.  Move
%xz-parallel-args to the new 'compression helpers' section.
* tests/packages.scm: Add tests.  Add missing copyright year for Jan.
* guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm (first-subdirectory): Return #f when no
sub-directory was found.
(unpack): Support more file types, including uncompressed plain files.

How frequent is it for an origin to be a regular file other than an
archive?  The underlying question for me is: will this generalization
and increased complexity pay off?  WDYT?

There are aspects of the patch that I find welcome regardless, such as
the improved handling of compression helpers.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think consistency is the main driver here.  The url-fetch method
supports single file sources; it makes sense that the other components
handling sources support it as well.  It's hard to judge of the
popularity of such a feature when it's never been available; but some
use cases come to mind such as single Emacs package file.  I've made use
of such feature for the new texlive-updmap.cfg definition in
<http://issues.guix.gnu.org/45870>.

Great!  Thanks for looking at it.

I've been building a sizable part of core-updates on top of this change
now for nearly two weeks, and in this time it's already come handy
twice.

I've made sure the tests ran fine and pushed to core-updates as commit
cfcead2e515c0dae02127e5a76496463898be6b6.

Let me know if anything breaks :-).
