monads: Add a template and specialization mechanism for monadic procedures.
* guix/monads.scm (%templates, %template-instances): New variables.
(register-template!, register-template-instance!): New procedures.
(template-directory, define-template): New macro.
(foldm, sequence, anym): Define using 'define-template'.  Avoid replace
ellipses with dots.
(mapm): Likewise, but do not use 'foldm'.
* guix/store.scm: Add 'template-directory' invocation.

;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; This module implements the general mechanism of monads, and provides in
;;; particular an instance of the "state" monad. The API was inspired by that
;;; of Racket's "better-monads" module (see
;;; <http://planet.racket-lang.org/package-source/toups/functional.plt/1/1/planet-docs/better-monads-guide/index.html>).
;;; The implementation and use case were influenced by Oleg Kysielov's
;;; "Monadic Programming in Scheme" (see
;;; <http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/monad-in-Scheme.html>).
;;;
;;; Code:
;; Record type for monads manipulated at run time.
