    syscalls: Add support for musl libc.
    
    This commit allows using Guix on a foreign distro which uses musl libc,
    for example, Alpine Linux. Usage of musl libc is detected via a new
    musl-libc? variable using the Guile %host-type.
    
    Using the new musl-libc? variable, we can now implement musl-specific
    quirks. The two compatibility problems I encountered in this regard are
    that musl dose not export a readdir64 and statfs64 symbol. On musl,
    these two functions are implemented as CPP macros that expand to
    readdir/statfs. To workaround that, a case-distinction was added.
    
    The existing linux? variable has been modified to return true if the
    %host-system contains "linux-" in order to ensure it is true for both
    linux-gnu as well as linux-musl host systems.
    
    The patch has been tested on Alpine Linux and is already used for the
    downstream Guix package shipped in Alpine Linux's package repository.
    
    * guix/build/syscalls.scm (musl-libc?): New variable.
    (linux?): Truth value on any linux system.
    (statfs, readdir-procedure): Support musl libc.
