Sören Tempel f032a41f41 gnu: chicken: Bootstrap from Scheme source code.

The CHICKEN compiler is itself written in CHICKEN.  To mitigate the
compiler bootstrapping problem, the CHICKEN release tarball includes
auto-generated C code, from which the CHICKEN compiler is build using
a C compiler.

However, if we want to patch the CHICKEN Scheme source (for  #8471), we
need to be able to build the CHICKEN compiler from its Scheme source
files.  This is achieved here by separate the build into two packages
chicken-bootstrap (build from the auto-generated C code) and chicken
(build from the Scheme source).

Note that this still isn't a full-source bootstrap, we still require
the auto-generated C source code, but at least we can now patch the
package based on the Scheme source. Hence, it improves the situation.
