guix: texlive-build-system: Improvements on non-trivial packages.
* guix/build/texlive-build-system.scm (build): Ignore temporary build files when moving runfiles around. Remove ".drv" source files prior to compiling files. Remove need for #:TEX-DIRECTORY keyword. Handle ".ins" and ".dtx" files in different directories. (install): Install docfiles in "doc" output when available. * guix/build-system/texlive.scm (texlive-build): Remove #:TEX-DIRECTORY. * doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Remove reference to #:TEX-DIRECTORY in TEXLIVE-BUILD-SYSTEM documentation. Also mention it now tries to compile ".dtx" files when there is no ".ins" file.
