monad-repl: Add REPL commands to inspect package arguments.

* guix/monad-repl.scm (keyword-argument-value, package-argument-command):
New procedures.
(phases, configure-flags, make-flags): New REPL commands.
* doc/guix.texi (package Reference): Link to “Using Guix Interactively”.
(Defining Package Variants): Add “Tips” quotation.
(Build Phases): Add “Tip” quotation.
(Using Guix Interactively): Document the new REPL commands.

@quotation Tips
Understanding what a variant really looks like can be difficult as one
starts combining the tools shown above. There are several ways to
inspect a package before attempting to build it that can prove handy:
@itemize
@item
You can inspect the package interactively at the REPL, for instance to
view its inputs, the code of its build phases, or its configure flags
(@pxref{Using Guix Interactively}).

When rewriting dependencies, @command{guix graph} can often help
visualize the changes that are made (@pxref{Invoking guix graph}).

As a packager, you may be willing to inspect the build phases or flags
of a given package; this is particularly useful when relying a lot on
inheritance to define package variants (@pxref{Defining Package
Variants}) or when package arguments are a result of some computation,
both of which can make it harder to foresee what ends up in the package
arguments. Additional commands let you inspect those package arguments:
@example
scheme@@(guix-user)> ,phases grep
$1 = (modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-after 'install 'fix-egrep-and-fgrep
(lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
(let* ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))
(bin (string-append out "/bin")))
(substitute* (list (string-append bin "/egrep")
(string-append bin "/fgrep"))
(("^exec grep")
(string-append "exec " bin "/grep")))))))
scheme@@(guix-user)> ,configure-flags findutils
$2 = (list "--localstatedir=/var")
scheme@@(guix-user)> ,make-flags binutils
$3 = '("MAKEINFO=true")
@end example
At a lower-level, a useful command is @code{lower}: it takes a file-like
object and ``lowers'' it into a derivation (@pxref{Derivations}) or a
store file:
