[bug#37411] [PATCH] gnu: Add fennel.

[Alex ter Weele]

fennel 0.3.0 just released. Below is an updated patch. The new release
includes FENNEL_PATH, which is now populated by the package
definition, so (require "fennelview") now works, addressing a
shortcoming of the previous patch. The new release also includes
completion via readline, which is not supported in this package
definition. For that reason, I would consider this patch WIP.

+
+    * Full Lua compatibility: Easily call any Lua function or library from
+Fennel and vice-versa.
+
+    * Zero overhead: Compiled code should be just as or more efficient than
+hand-written Lua.
+
+    * Compile-time macros: Ship compiled code with no runtime dependency on
+Fennel.
+
+    * Embeddable: Fennel is a one-file library as well as an executable.
+Embed it in other programs to support runtime extensibility and interactive
+development.
+
+Anywhere you can run Lua code, you can run Fennel code.")
