guix package: Use relative symlinks to generations.

Reported by Roel Janssen <roel@gnu.org>
at <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-07/msg00036.html>.

* guix/profiles.scm (switch-to-generation): Use (basename generation) as
the symlink target.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (build-and-use-profile): Likewise,
use (basename name) as the symlink target.
* tests/guix-package.sh: Adjust --roll-back test accordingly.  Add
explicitly test with '-p foo/prof'.
