transformations: '--with-source' now operates in depth.
The '--with-source' option is the first one that was implemented, and it's the only one that would operate only on leaf packages rather than traversing the dependency graph. This change makes it consistent with the rest of the transformation options. * guix/transformations.scm (evaluate-source-replacement-specs): New procedure. (transform-package-source): Rewrite using it. * tests/transformations.scm ("options->transformation, with-source, no matches"): Rewrite since we no longer get a warning. ("options->transformation, with-source, in depth"): New test. * doc/guix.texi (Package Transformation Options): Adjust examples.
