gnu: Remove unnecessary uses of 'package-with-bootstrap-guile'.
This reduces the object graph returned by:

  guix graph -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) glibc-final-with-bootstrap-bash)

from 333 nodes (1542 edges) to 148 nodes (886 edges).

This improves 'package-derivation' memoization and, consequently, the
'add-data-to-store' cache shown by:

  GUIX_PROFILING=add-data-to-store-cache guix build coreutils -nd

goes from 10948 lookups to 8935 lookups.

* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (mes-boot): Remove call to
'package-with-bootstrap-guile'.  Call 'bootstrap-origin' on the source
of NYACC-0.86.
(tcc-boot0): Likewise.
(tcc-boot): Remove call to 'package-with-bootstrap-guile' and call
'bootstrap-origin' on its source.
(make-mesboot0): Remove call to 'package-with-bootstrap-guile'.

(binutils-mesboot0): Likewise, and call 'bootstrap-origin' for its
source.
