Hi Guix!

I want to help get a version of xalan into guix.  I independently posted
issue#54145 to this end but errors were made.  I've since learned of and
from this prior work and want to offer an updated/improved patch to provide a
java-xalan-interp package to fill this gap.

This package is less ambitious than the original because it makes no
attempt to build the xsltc base of xalan and instead settles for the
likely slower, xslt base.  The xslt base of xalan is likely slower than
the xsltc base but, as far as I can tell, it provides the same
functionality while not depending on the bundled cups and jflex jars.

If it meets your scrutiny we may also be able to close two issues (this,
32947 and 54145) for the price of one!  

Regards,
Frank Pursel
