New `--max-layers=N` option for the `guix pack` command

Docker layered images can now be produced via the guix pack --format=docker --max-layers=N command, providing a Docker image with many of the store paths being on their own layer to improve sharing between images. The image is realized into the GNU store as a gzipped tarball. Here is a simple example that generates a layered Docker image for the hello package:

guix pack --format=docker --max-layers=N --symlink=/usr/bin/hello=bin/hello hello

The guix system image can now produce layered Docker image by passing --max-layers=N.

See info "(guix) Invoking guix pack" and info "(guix) System Images" for more information.
