bug#26833: `guix substitute --substitute' dies on unreachable substitute


From: Maxim Cournoyer
Subject: bug#26833: `guix substitute --substitute' dies on unreachable substitute server

Problem: When using multiple substitute servers, if one of the server is
temporarily unreachable, `guix substitute --substitute' will throw an
exception. Example (while bayfront server was down, attempting to build
a package only available locally (emacs-dvc)):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix package -i emacs-dvc
;;; note: source file /home/maxim/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/emacs.scm
;;;       newer than compiled 
/home/maxim/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/emacs.go
;;; note: source file /home/maxim/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/emacs.scm
;;;       newer than compiled 
/gnu/store/nqy9m6hhnkkfwr5wyq5bac96v9s9hc9i-guix-0.12.0-9.25a4/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache/gnu/packages/emacs.go
;;; note: source file /home/maxim/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/emacs.scm
;;;       newer than compiled 
/run/current-system/profile/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache/gnu/packages/emacs.go
;;; note: source file /home/maxim/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/emacs.scm
;;;       newer than compiled 
/home/maxim/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/home/maxim/src/guix/gnu/packages/emacs.scm.go
The following package will be installed:
   emacs-dvc    trunk-1.591

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Expected: Since multiple substitute servers are being used, rather than
bombing out on the first unavailable one, `guix substitute --substitute'
(or any other command implicated with substitute servers) should simply
warn about it before attempting the next one.

Bonus point: `guix substitute --query' should also print a warning
message that substitute server X couldn't be reached (it doesn't print
anything about that right now, just skips to the next one).
