build: Add `--target' option.
* guix/scripts/build.scm (derivations-from-package-expressions): Add `package-derivation' parameter. (show-help, %options): Add `--target'. (guix-build): Use `package-cross-derivation' when `--target' is passed. * tests/guix-build.sh: Add dry-run test with `--target'. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Document `--target'.
