"import crate -r" shall create and use "proper" variable names for the
package definitions it prints out and for the packages it reference.

If guix commits to use variable names follow the Cargo book (see
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-04/msg00394.html>),
the importer shall create respective variables and use these names. This
would easy importing packages a lot.

Dummy example:

$guix import crate -r [email protected]
…
(define-public rust-h2
…
    (arguments
      `(#:cargo-inputs
        (("rust-bytes" ,rust-bytes)
         ("rust-fnv" ,rust-fnv)

Shall become

$guix import crate -r [email protected]
…
(define-public rust-h2-0.2
…
        (("rust-bytes" ,rust-bytes-0.4)
         ("rust-fnv" ,rust-fnv-1)
