bug#26341: [PATCH 1/2] build: syscalls: Allow mount and umount use from static Guile.

[Mathieu Othacehe]

* guix/build/syscalls.scm (mount): Use Guile core mount if called from
  static Guile, otherwise use FFI based mount implementation.
  (umount): Ditto.
  This allows to use (guix build syscalls) from a module independently
  of calling context.
