syscalls: Gracefully handle failure to load libc's libutil.
In particular, libutil is not found when running code on a statically-linked Guile. Reported by mahmooz on #guix. * guix/build/syscalls.scm (syscall->procedure): Add #:library parameter and honor it. (openpty, login-tty): Use 'syscall->procedure' instead of calling 'dynamic-link' directly.
