scripts: perform-download: explicitly disallow local file downloads.

In the case of the rootless daemon, perform-download runs as the daemon user.
There are files - such as /etc/guix/signing-key.sec - that guix-daemon can
read but that it is essential that ordinary users cannot.

Currently url-fetch can't access raw filenames, and it doesn't include a case
for "file://" urls.  'git-fetch-with-fallback' can fetch from "file://" urls,
but it requires that the specified url is a valid git repository.

To be on the safe side, and to insulate against any changes to what url-fetch
and git support, explicitly disallow raw filenames and "file://" urls.

* guix/scripts/perform-download.scm (assert-non-local-urls): new procedure.
  (perform-download, perform-git-download): use it.
