distro: lout: Comment out dependency on Ghostscript.

* distro/packages/lout.scm (lout): Temporarily comment out dependency on
  Ghostscript as this was causing evaluation errors on Hydra.

distro: lout: Delay use of of `nixpkgs-derivation'.

* distro/packages/lout.scm (lout): Don't fork with `nixpkgs-derivation',
  to avoid any issues in the absence of `nix-instantiate'.

Remove (guix http) and (guix ftp).

* guix/ftp.scm, guix/http.scm, guix/build/ftp.scm, guix/build/http.scm:
  Remove.

distro: Go for one module per package.

The alternative, which was to use one module per category, would
probably not scale well.  First, because many packages could fall into
several categories (does GnuTLS go into "networking", "security", or
"libraries"?).  Second, because that could easily lead to circular
dependencies among modules ("security" and "networking" depend on each
other, etc.)

  configure flag.

  to `nixpkgs-derivation', to avoid failing at compile-time.
