mapped-devices: LUKS partitions can be designated by their UUID.

* gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (device-mapping-service-type): Add
'modules' and 'imported-modules' fields to 'shepherd-service'.
(open-luks-device): Use 'find-partition-by-luks-uuid' to lookup the
partition when SOURCE is a bytevector.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Augment 'use-modules'
form.
* doc/guix.texi (Mapped Devices): Give example with a UUID.
