[bug#46214] [PATCH] DRAFT: narinfo hooks for ‘guix publish’

Sorry for the late response, for some reason your mail didn't end
up in my inbox.  A reminder for what my goal is: I am attempting
to serve substitutes via a P2P system.  Ludovic has a patch
for substitutes over IPFS, myself I'm planning to write a patch
for substitutes over GNUnet.  This patch aims to define a
simple ‘hook’ into ‘guix publish’ for adding the IPFS or GNUnet
URI.

This patch is only for the generation of the narinfos.

(I would like to eventually write a hook that publishes
the store item via GNUnet and embeds the URI in the narinfo,
but there isn't yet a corresponding hook mechanism on
the substituter side.)

That said, other hook types could be defined with additional
patches, though I don't know what use that would serve.

Greetings,
Maxime.
