Hello,

This is the missing piece for the new image API. It has been previously
discussed here[1].

I think this is close to what Ludo suggested and it addresses janneke concerns
about composability.

The idea is to introduce the concept of "image-type". An image type is a
converter from an <operating-system> record to an <image> record.

I have created in this serie 4 new image type records:
- raw
- iso9660
- uncompressed-iso9660
- hurd-raw

I also adapted the "guix system" command by removing the "file-system-type"
argument and replaced it by the "image-type" argument.

The default is still to create a raw disk-image, but one can now call:

guix system disk-image -t iso9660 my-config.scm
guix system disk-image -t uncompressed-iso9660 my-config.scm
guix system disk-image -t hurd-raw my-config.scm

and so on. Maybe we should also rename "disk-image" command to "image" that
would be somehow more accurate.

The only missing bit is the documentation update, as I prefer to wait for this
change to be approved first.

WDYT?

Thanks,

Mathieu

Sure, fixed. I pushed this serie with the according documentation
update.

Thanks,

Mathieu
