web: Add https support through gnutls.
Since importing gnutls directly would result in a dependency cycle,
we load gnutls lazily.
This uses code originally written for Guix by Ludovic Courtès.
* module/web/client.scm: (%http-receive-buffer-size)
(gnutls-module, ensure-gnutls, gnutls-ref, tls-wrap): New variables.
(open-socket-for-uri): Wrap in tls when uri scheme is https.
* doc/ref/web.texi (open-socket-for-uri): Document gnutls usage.
