'core-updates' spring 2018

[Marius Bakke]

Guix,

'core-updates' has seen a lot of changes recently.  Some of the goodies
include HTTP/2 support in curl, binutils 2.30, glibc 2.27, reproducible
Python bytecode, gnu-build-system will automatically run 'autoreconf' if
necessary, warnings will be issued about snippets and phases not
returning #t, and much more.

Are there other things that should go in?

Let's set a date for "freezing" it, after which it will be started on
Hydra and only bugfixes are allowed.  How about Monday, April 2nd?
