records: Support custom 'this' identifiers.
This lets record users choose an identifier other than 'this-record'. * guix/records.scm (make-syntactic-constructor): Add #:this-identifier. [wrap-field-value]: Honor it. (define-record-type*): Add form with extra THIS-IDENTIFIER and honor it. * tests/records.scm ("define-record-type* & thunked & inherit & custom this"): New test.
