emacs: Add interface for system generations.

* emacs/guix-main.scm (system-generation-boot-parameters)
(system-generation-param-alist, system-generation-sexps): New procedures.
(entries): Add 'system-generation' entry type.
* emacs/guix-messages.el (guix-result-message): Use the same messages
  for 'generation' and 'system-generation' entry types.
* emacs/guix-ui-system-generation.el: New file.
* emacs.am (ELFILES): Add it.
* doc/emacs.texi (Emacs Commands): Document new commands.
* NEWS: Mention new interface.
